JAZ president Smart Deke confirmed the development.
“We are now going to have our competition on the 2nd of April. The school gave us that date. So we are going to have cadets, youth and senior competition.
“All clubs are preparing for this. All the athletes are ready for these competitions and last week we also had our coaches to do the coaching courses.
“We are just starting, we need to assess our coaches and renew their CPR certificates as well and just assessing all the coaching skills again from our coaches before we dispatch them for the schools programme,” said Deke.
