The draws for the 2026 Uganda Secondary Schools Sports Association (USSSA) National Netball Championship have been conducted, unveiling a competitive and well-balanced tournament layout, albeit with a few standout pools that promise early fireworks.
While the overall distribution appears equitable, Group P immediately commands attention after pitting Wakiso District heavyweights St. Mary’s Boarding Secondary School – Kitende against Greenlight Islamic Secondary School – Nansana in what shapes as one of the most anticipated rivalries of the group stages. The pool is further bolstered by St. Benedict Kaggwa, Mbale Secondary School, and Mengo Secondary School, making it arguably the most competitive group in the draw.
Defending champions Buddo Secondary School begin their title defence from Group A, where they are drawn alongside Iganga S.S, Busia S.S, Trinity Catholic High School, and St. Benard Secondary School.
Buddo will be keen to assert early dominance as they seek to retain their crown.
Kampala champions Baptist High School headline Group F, where they face a diverse challenge from Premier City, Mbarara Army Secondary School, St. John’s Kauga, Masese Seed School, and Light High School Sseguku.
Elsewhere, several groups present intriguing matchups across the board, setting the tone for a highly competitive championship.
