Talked to him about this. He says he's not interested in football.

Oddly (to me), also no interest in martial arts. Although he was a fencer (foil) for some years, that's a martial art, isn't it? He had speed and natural talent and was pretty good at it, but got more interested in dance, so he's not fencing now. The local fencing center is very good but rather inconvenient to get to, and I think he wants the social, team camraderie aspect of HS sport. Also, I know two fencers who have blown out their knees - the lunges are tough on that joint.
