<p>There was a long discussion last year on this topic. Team sports are preferred to individual, school sports are easier to indicate achievement.

The people that have been most successful have a demonstrated level of achievement in their individual sport (eg, Tae Kwon Do champs). You’d be better off to find him something competitive.</p>
