UFO caging organizers are hoping to have at least six teams each in the masters and youth divisions and the league will open next Sunday at the Civic Center Basketball Court in Susupe. The opening ceremony is set for 2pm and three games will be played in the opening day with the first one scheduled in Susupe and the last two at the TSL Sports Complex.
