        DS was never the sporty/athletic type.
        The best he ever got for Nafa was a bronze.

              Training 3 times per week, including Saturday :yikes:
              This on top of a uniform group CCA will be too taxing.

                Uniform group - how many times a week? I heard like NCC is only 1x/week? But need to go back during holidays quite a bit.

                If not cross-country, then what other CCA were you considering? Aren't most CCAs at least 2x or 3x/week?

                  Thinking of something less physical.
                  Any club/society or performing arts (the CCA head said during briefing that most application for performing art will be accepted).

                    Aren't performing arts also 2-3x a week?

                      I think some of these "recommended" CCAs are the 冷门, type, got to get some of our kids to fill it up mah. Basis of recommendation is not transparent.

                        Aren't performing arts also 2-3x a week?[/quote]At least not so physical demanding. He will not feel so tired at the end of the day compare to physical training 3 times a week. Such as things like Drama.
                        But if choose things like modern dance will be very physically draining also.

                        Actually we are quite interested for him to join the co op or maybe debate club.
