track

I've never been involved in track before. But my son just started the track team at school. It has been a good experience so far. Here are a few of my favorite things:

1. required to go to tutoring/study hall two to three times a week

2. practice after school

3. only one meet a week

4. no Saturday practice

5. coaches are encouraging

6. teammates are nice/friendly

7. he is making new friends

8. he is discovering new talents

9. he is learning some new things

10. he is experiencing some success at it already (three medals from two meets!)
