C. He wants to get a team together and make it to nationals but what he needs is to learn how to be a good leader/friend.

Based on webcomic (this is what my webcomic I am working on will be about) 

Since a skating team needs at least 16 people there will also be a hand full of secondary characters who are on the team.
