<p>Thanks for all the suggestions. Since we homeschool, we have to work a little harder (okay, a lot harder) to find team or competitive sports for our kids.</p>
<p>The cross-country suggestion is something I hadn’t thought of. There is a summer league track team in our city. Summer league isn’t super-competitive, but he’d at least have some official times to show.</p>
<p>He’s been interested in doing some martial-arts, but I just don’t think a year and a half will be enough time for him to really excel in that.</p>
<p>He is in excellent physical condition. He has a pull-up bar in his doorway and requires himself to do 5 pull-ups every time he goes through the doorway.
I am also hoping that the fact that our family has a farm on which he helps will count for some non-traditional physical fitness points.</p>
<p>He is advancing through the ranks in Civil Air Patrol, so that will be good for leadership, and he’s involved with quite a few other EC’s, too.</p>
<p>Speaking of EC’s…oh, I guess I’d better start another thread for that. Thanks again!</p>
