[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He should try out NOW for a Fall Sport. Likely happens early August. March into the Activities Office, if necessary, and find out when tryouts are for a variety of sports. Some may be no-cut. He needs a group. He'll needs a sense of belonging.[/quote] Crew seems to be a popular and successful activity for a lot of newbies (at least at Wakefield; maybe the other schools' teams are still more competitive). It doesn't start before school; but you can establish a commitment from him now that he will try it. So many kids kept telling mine "you should do crew! you should do crew!" They are very much an enthusiastic, cooperative, and welcoming bunch! Crew kids seem to be involved in a lot of other activities, too; so he's bound to encounter them one way or another - ha![/quote]
