Fri, 10 Jul 2026 03:36:19 GMT

The Westchester Untouchables youth football league successfully completed the 2026 Stepinac Tackle Training Camp from July 6–9 at Archbishop Stepinac High School. Players aged 9–13 demonstrated elite skill development, physical conditioning, and tactical awareness, solidifying the league's reputation as a premier force in the Westchester youth sports community.

What is the Stepinac Tackle Training Camp?

The Stepinac Tackle Training Camp is a prestigious annual event held at Archbishop Stepinac High School in White Plains, NY. It is designed to bridge the gap between basic youth football and high-level high school competition. For the players of the Westchester Untouchables, this camp serves as a critical mid-summer benchmark to test their mettle against some of the best coaching in the region.

During the four-day intensive program, athletes focus on the fundamentals of the game, including:

Advanced tackling techniques for safety and efficiency.
Position-specific skill drills for linemen, receivers, and backs.
Speed and agility training tailored for the turf field.
Mental toughness and football IQ development.
Teamwork and communication under competitive pressure.

For the Westchester Untouchables, participating in this camp is more than just practice; it is about immersion in an environment that demands excellence. The coaching staff at Stepinac, known for producing Division I talent, provides a glimpse into the future for these young athletes. The Untouchables showed up with a clear goal: to prove that Yonkers-based talent is second to none. From the first whistle on July 6th to the final wrap-up on July 9th, the energy was electric.

Why This Matters for Westchester Untouchables?

Known for their American Youth Football (AYF) championship pedigree, these young athletes are laying the foundation for long-term success. Putting in work during the summer offseason at a premier program like Stepinac not only builds their physical strength but also their football IQ. The discipline and brotherhood they displayed this week highlight " The Untouchable Way " both on and off the gridiron.

How did the Westchester Untouchables perform at camp?

The Westchester Untouchables youth football squads didn't just participate; they dominated. Across the 9-13 age brackets, our players were frequently highlighted by camp instructors for their discipline and technical prowess. Whether it was the offensive line holding their blocks or the secondary making clinical reads, the Untouchables' presence was felt in every drill.

Why is tackle training important for youth football players?

Proper tackle training is the cornerstone of a safe and successful football career. At the Westchester Untouchables, we prioritize the "heads-up" philosophy, ensuring that every player understands how to use their body effectively without compromising safety. The Stepinac camp reinforces these vital habits in a high-repetition environment.

Why the Westchester Untouchables are a powerhouse

The secret to the Untouchables' success isn't just what happens on the field—it's the culture we've built off it. Our league is a family. When one of our players succeeds at a camp like Stepinac, the entire league celebrates. This sense of belonging is why we see so much growth in our athletes year after year.

We focus on three main pillars:

Character Development: We teach our players to be leaders in their schools and neighborhoods.

Community Engagement: We work closely with Westchester families to ensure football is accessible and fun.

Summary of the Stepinac Camp Experience
