Ayub Khalifah the publicity secretary USSSA presided over the draws urging all participating schools to put more emphasis on sporting behaviours. He also highlighted on why the number of schools increased from the 32 of previous season to 64.
“Yes today we conducted the draws for both girls football and the basketball for both girls and boys, why we conducted them here not at the venue, it’s to give chance to these schools to get ready before the kick off date.” He said before adding, “last time we had 32 teams in girls football but we decided to add on more teams to 64 because we are not going to be with our sponsor, it’s the schools to facilitate themselves, that’s why did so.”
