[quote=Anonymous]I know you said she doesn't like sports, but does she do anything at all for fitness? If she even jogs to keep fit or even thinks she might like to, I would encourage her to try the cross country team. You don't need specific ball handling skills or hand eye coordination to run; you only need to put one foot in front of the other.

The team has optional practices run by the team captains during July, with regular practices starting in August. They are a really friendly, welcoming group and running is a great way to get to know other kids, because they can chat as they run along.

The kids I know who have done this have then started the first day of school already knowing a nice group of kids consisting of both freshmen and upperclassmen. It really reduces the stress of those first days to see some friendly faces in the hallways.

There are also lots of non-sports to join that are fun and worthwhile, but most of those start after the first day of school, so you don't get the benefit of getting to know kids during the summer. Whatever she decides though, definitely encourage her to join an activity at TJ. They have so many clubs there to join and it is a great way to get to know other kids and feel part of the school.
