Ammon's All-Seasonal Activities

Ammon has 2 passions: sports and reading. He participates in both activities year-round (not simultaneously, though!).

He likes to read science fiction, fantasy novels, and books in series. Right now he is in Book #5 of the Harry Potter series. I told him if he read all 7 books this summer before the last movie came out, I would take him to the theater to see it! He is excelling at the challenge so far!

And he absolutely loves playing sports! He has a cycle of different sports he plays throughout the year:

From mid-October through mid-April, he bowls every Friday on the youth bowling league. He did well this year, and at the end of the season, he received the 1st place award for "High Handicap Game" in the boys league. At the regional competition in April, his score qualified him to bowl at the State Tournament, too!

In December and January, he participates in Jamboree Basketball two nights a week at the Junior High gym. He really enjoys playing ball with his friends in the dead of winter!

In April and May, he is practicing on the track during P.E. for the annual elementary school track meet. This was his last year participating in the event, because next year he will be in the Junior High track meet instead. He earned a 4th place ribbon in the 5th grade 400m dash.

In May, June, and July, he is golfing. He competes with the Jr. IGA (Idaho Golf Association) at 4 tournaments around Eastern/Central Idaho during June and July. At the first tournament of the summer in Rexburg this year, he earned a 4th place medal in his age group. He likes to practice and go to clinics to prepare for the tournaments; in the last week, he's golfed 5 days, and he usually plays 2 rounds of golf each day! He LOVES golfing!!

And in mid-August to early October, he plays football. He loves playing football with his schoolmates! As soon as football season is over, bowling starts, and the whole cycle begins all over again!
