[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can he sign up for something with a friend - a pickleball class (hugely popular) for example.

Shoot some hoops, batting cages, tee off with a bucket of balls?[/quote]

I agree with this poster. He has to do activities with friends.[/quote]

OP here.  I know PPs intentions are good but it’s clear you don’t know “nerdy” teen boys like my son.  All his friends are into the same stuff (D&D, robots, video games) so suggesting they go to batting cages is a little hilarious.  My son and his friends are like the guys from big bang theory to paint a picture.  We are trying to appeal to his scientific side by listening to podcasts about the benefits of exercise on the brain, life span, etc. but teens don’t really like to think that far down the road.[/quote]

DP. I totally get it, and in my case, it’s a “nerdy” son and an artsy daughter, neither of whose friends are big on physical activity at all, so pushing that angle doesn’t work. It’s hard as an adult for whom exercise is a huge part of my life. I just want them to get up move without having to be constantly prodded.[/quote]
