Maybe he has potential? Cross country and track is a good CCA for boys. Builds stamina. Useful for NS.

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.

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.

For RI does a kid need recommendation to join fencing ?
It should be 冷门 enough but it's cool.

I don't mind this kind. The trouble is DS offer too large a target for fencing!

Ha Ha fending cannot hit head of face one lah.
Anyway they learn to always face your opponent sideway, offering the smallest hit area possible.
