The league will start with 8 schools (Kings college Budo, Ntare school, Mbarara high school, Kibuli senior secondary school, Namugongo senior secondary school, Ndejje senior secondary school, St. Henry’s Kitovu and Makerere college). For the first season schools were picked randomly however we are looking to increase the number for the second season.
