There has got to be a glider group near by, go to www.ssa.org and search the
"Where to Fly" section.
He can solo now have a glider rating long before he can in power.

While the objective isn't merely to solo, I find myself asking why not go
ahead and do a lot of training this summer? Why should your son wait
next year
to experience solo flight?

How many guys do you know that tell you "I soloed a plane back in 19xx" --
but never got their ticket?

I have met a whole bunch of them. I don't want my son to solo, get
"stuck" in a rut waiting, and then never finish up.
