Champions Camp at New Rochelle High School has become the final big event before the start of every new season. Some of the area’s top teams meet for a week of workouts before a two-week break. Then it’s football, football, football all the way through to Thanksgiving weekend.
That will be the case this year as well. New Ro is set to host its annual camp beginning on Monday. It will run through Friday, with teams working from 4:30-8 every night. The list of teams includes: New Ro, Iona Prep, Harrison, Eastchester, Tuckahoe, and Woodlands.
There have been a few changes to the participants this year. Briarcliff and Roosevelt will not attend the camp. They have been replaced by Iona Prep and Woodlands. (Iona Prep participated last year, but only in a couple 7-on-7s.) Also, Ardsley may attend the camp as well, which has done in the past.
Full disclosure: I will not be at Champions Camp this year. I’m headed out on vacation on Friday and will be gone for two weeks. Hopefully, one of my colleagues will fill in and keep the blog running with updates. I will let everyone know in the coming days.
Also, if any other coach, player or parent has information for other August camps/workouts, please e-mail them to me at jthomson@lohud.com.

Will Tuckahoe be in the camp again this year? It will be interesting to see them in 2011. Do you have any info on that Josh?
Yes. I’m an idiot and forgot to post all the teams. I’ll do that now.
Good Stuff..
Eastchester is ranked pre season 6th not sure if they deserve to be so high. Any word on their
team this year. i know that the defense played well last year starting many under classmen. look for carinci to carry the load on offense. would love to see tuckahoe and eastchester mix it up at champion camp finally.
in recent years dating back to about 2007, Tuckahoe vs Eastchester would be a completely one-sided affair favoring Eastchester. They have been bigger, stronger, faster, and flat out better. But this year I agree, I would love to see them scrimmage a little or at least have a 7on7.
Josh are they going to have a big jamboree scrimmage on friday like they have in years past, and if so who are the teams that will be joining these teams for the scrimmages. In the past it’s been john jay – cr, carmel, croton and scarsdale, is it the same?
There is a big scrimmage at the end of the week. Im unsure of what teams are attending.
