Warwick Valley Wildcats football begins 130th season with opening of camp [Gallery]

Warwick football players warm up during their first practice of the 2026 season.

The countdown to another chapter of Warwick Valley football history began on Monday, as the Wildcats opened their 2026 football camp!

This season carries special significance, as the football program enters its 130th season, continuing a proud tradition that dates back to 1896. With players and coaches back at it, anticipation and excitement on the field and across Wildcat Country is building for the upcoming Wildcats season. From the first day of camp, head Coach Gregory Sirico and his coaching staff are focused on establishing the foundation for a successful season: building relationships, developing team chemistry, improving fundamentals, and embracing the toughness, discipline, and commitment that have long defined Warwick football.

The Wildcats have a couple of weeks to prepare before officially opening the 2026 season on Friday, September 4, when the Wildcats welcome the Susan Wagner Falcons (NYC) to CA Morgan Field. The season opener gives the Warwick community an exciting opportunity to come together and celebrate the start of another football season under the lights.

As the team prepares for the challenges ahead, coaches and players understand that success is built one practice, one meeting, and one day at a time.

"The 130th season is not simply about looking back at the tremendous history of Warwick football," said head coach and Warwick Valley athletic director Gregory Sirico, "it's about creating the next chapter!"

With the new season right around the corner, the Wildcats are ready to compete and represent Warwick Valley with the pride and passion that have made Friday night football such an important part of the Warwick community for generations.

Go, Wildcats!
