Seven members of the 2009 Manning and Dacosta Cup teams are part of a squad named by National Coach Theodore Whitmore to the first in a series of camps to prepare a national squad for participation in the XXI CAC Games to be held in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, July 17-August 1.
 
They are Marvin Morgan (St Georges College/Boys Town): Oneil Fisher (2009 Manning Cup Champions Team Captain/St. Georges College): Christopher Waugh (Wolmer’s Boys): Ashani Walker (Jamaica College): Jason Johnson (Manchester High): Darren Mattocks (Bridgeport High) and leading goal scorer of the 2009 Dacosta Cup, Deshorn Brown (St. Elizabeth Technical High).
 
The squad further includes nine players from the Under 20 squad for the FIFA U-20 World Cup at the CONCACAF Championships in Trinidad and Tobago in March 2009. These are Gariece McPherson (Portmore United): Andre Blake (Glenmuir High/Sporting Central Academy): Andrae Campbell (Portmore United): Andre Darby (Portmore United) Romeo Parkes (St. Georges Sports Club): Andre Steele (Harbour View FC): Romario Campbell (Harbour View): Damaine Thompson (Bamboo FC) and Davion Thorpe (Reno FC).
 
Two members of the squad have played for Jamaica’s National Senior team, Romario Campbell who played against South Africa on April 28 and Jason Johnson who played against Argentina, February 10, 2010. Andrae Campbell and Damaine Thompson were part of the team that won a Silver medal at the Pan Am games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 2007.
 
The last time Jamaica participated in the CAC games was in 2006 when the country was knocked out at the quarter final stage after beating Haiti in the group stage.
The technical staff sees this squad as the embryo for not only the CAC games but also for the 2012 Olympic qualifiers. National Coach Theodore Whitmore says “ Jamaica stands a good chance of doing well so its important to get our preparation started early”
The squad begins training on Tuesday, May 18 and will break on Thursday, May 20.
