    My son is still young, but he already has a few problems with his studies. Because he gets colds more often, than he wants. And misses many classes accordingly. So I thought of sending him to the society that specializes in netball in Singapore at least. He will try to get involved into sports on weekends, and he actually looks very enthusiastic about it.
