The trio of David Dawariye, Matthew Abamu and Saminu Abubakar will feature in the boys’ 14 and under category.

2016 AJC finalist, Michael Osewa alongside Wilson Igbinovia and Michael Ayoola will lead the charge for glory in the boys’ 16 and under while Toyin Asogba, Omolade Aderemi and Omolayo Bamidele will compete in the girls’ 16 and under.
