At least 18 teams have so far indicated their interest to be one of the 16 schools represented in this year’s staging of the annual Jamaica high school alumni sports network soccer tournament set to take place September 1 and 2 in Florida.

Defending champions Calabar heads the Manning cup schools which have already confirmed their participation for the tournament which will be held at the Lauderhill complex.

Kingston College, Wolmers, Meadowbrook and Bridgeport are among the other manning cup schools in the pool for this year’s event.

Former champions Ruseas high returning after a three year absence join the likes of other former champions Cornwall college, Herbert Morrison, st. Mary high, and STETHS as Dacosta Cup schools signaling that they intend to take one of the 16 available spots.
