LAUDERHILL – Scores of Jamaica’s high school alumni and sports enthusiasts will make way to the Lauderhill Sports Complex for the exciting South Florida 4th Annual Jamaica High School Alumni Soccer and Netball Tournament this Labor Day Weekend. The Sports Complex, located at 7500 West Oakland Park Boulevard, Lauderhill, Florida 33319, will roar to life on Sunday, September 2nd at 10am through 6pm and again on Monday September 3rd from 10am through 9pm.
The tournament is expected to be bigger and better than last year’s staging as twenty-four teams compete to win the National Weekly Championship Trophy and a cash prize. The champions also win the honor of giving back to their high schools in Jamaica as they also win a donation of sporting equipment for their Alma Mater.
“I think JHSASN have started a wonderful thing in hosting this alumni soccer tournament, which in turn benefits the Alma Mater of the winning team. This is a very good idea and I hope more alumni will get involved so we can, through JHSASN, be able to give back more to our Jamaican schools in an attempt to affect the lives of our current and future students for many more years,” says Ms. Rosemary Boothe, Treasurer, St Mary High School Alumni Association, South Florida Chapter, and 2011 defending champions.
We encourage all past students to come wearing their school colors and participate in the festivities as we introduce the Jamaica High School Alumni Sporting Network (JHSASN) Alumni Village. The Alumni Village gives all Alumni Associations the opportunity to build their membership base by networking and recruiting new members, showcasing and selling their Alumni memorabilia’s and merchandise while competing to win a prize for the best school spirit. The event is also a way for Jamaica high school past students to come together in a reunion setting, in an attempt to relive their past exploits in a fun and entertaining competitive sports arena.
