General Info

The Harvey School is pleased to host the 2022 Southern New York VRC State Championship at our campus in northern Westchester County, just 40 minutes north of NYC and an hour from most of Long Island. We have a beautiful facility, plenty of parking, a brand new double gym, WIFI and a separate cafeteria for a little peace and quiet if you need it. This year, we are expecting 60 teams. Each team will have 8 matches.

Our goal is to provide the largest, most competitive and comfortable event of the year. There will be plenty of room, tables, electric and wifi for every team. There will be 3 competition fields, two skills fields, and 3 practice fields. Breakfast, lunch, and snacks will be available.
