As part of his regular fitness schedule, each House Boy is required to maintain a personalized exercise schedule based on their age, weight, pre-collaring activity level, and fitness goals as determined by the Master. Younger boys maintain a more active schedule, while older boys have goals tailored for their needs and abilities.

House Boys who serve in excess of 90 days are also given the option of joining a gym or participating in team sports or personal training at the Master’s expense. Some examples are joining a local soccer team, playing competitive softball, martial arts classes, or mentoring by a tennis or golf instructor. In the example above, a House Boy with an interest in boxing practices punches in the Master’s garage. Since boxing gloves are necessary safety equipment for punching practice, the boy is permitted to wear the gloves and is not considered to be in violation of the Nudity Rule (Rule #1). The remaining part of his competitive outfit – including shorts and a jock – is not necessary for practicing punches and he is not permitted to wear them, regardless of who may be present and could observe. A boy with an interest in any sport may also be assigned practice related to that sport as part of his daily exercise regimen.

Extracurricular sports practice and daily exercises are scheduled activities that take place regardless of who may be present and could observe. For practices that take place off property – including team sports and things like golf lessons – the boy is permitted clothing or covering to and from the practice. Authority figures like golf pros, wrestling coaches, and martial arts instructors are considered Temporary Masters when they are instructing the boy off-property, and the boy must obey instruction or be subject to discipline. This instructor also has the right to make the boy practice naked in private settings or any place where nudity is legal or traditional. An example of this would be a boy taking swimming lessons who is required to swim naked at the instructor’s backyard or club pool.

House Boy’s have the right to choose an extracurricular activity of their choice, subject to availability and affordability of instruction. The Master has the right to choose the specific program, instructor, and location of training. Houseguests are welcome to observe or participate in any practice or training that takes place at home (subject to the approval of the Master and instructor, if present), which includes before practice preparation and after practice decompression (including shower and cleanup). The House Boy has no right to privacy of his body at any time in the Master’s home.
