My son is thinking about going into track and field as a sport. Do you know much about it?
I know there are a variety of events which include ones where you run and jump and throw things
Ah, I see. So, the winners are determined by who could throw the longest, or run the longest distance?
Yes the jumping and throwing events are won by  whomever achieve the greatest distance or height
Well, that sounds like it might be good for him. Do you know if it's for specific age groups?
I do not know of any age groups but I do know there are classifications for disabled athletes
Oh, that's great they do that as well. Do they have it in the Olympics, I wonder?
They have games of the paralympiad which is an international event where people compete in various sports
Well, that's pretty cool. I think it might be good for him to meet new friends and help build up his confidence, not to mention exercise.
For sure.  Most track events are individual sports but there are also relay races and other team events
