I want to encourage my son to get into track & field. Seems like a noble sport to get into for high school where he can get healthy, be social, and not be too dangerous. I know zip about it though.

Track and field is a very intense sport

Okay, fair enough. But is there something more specific you can tell me about it? Something more.. knowledgeable?
1_Wizard
Track and field requires a heavy amount of skill in running, jumping and throwing

I figured running, obviously, since it sounds pretty self-explanatory in the title. But how exactly does it all work? Where do they do things? How do they compete?
1_Wizard
Typically Track and field has running events running in an oval shaped field with obstacles to jump over and a separate area for throwing events

Are there events? Specific challenges during the competition?

you have events like the long jump or discus throw or javelin toss, there are many more
