  The only possible things for him to train for SOC is parallel bars, monkey bars, balancing beam (albeit shorter....WAY short) and occassionally, the window and rope.
  
  My school used to have those monkey bars which are the SOC typed ones, and also had the window too.

  doing alone can be dangerous, esp. the rope and monkey bars...
  that why alot of jcs and sec schools now dun put these anymore...

  Maybe just train how to get across the parellel bars and swining on the monkey bars will be sufficient. I don't really see low rope obstacles in playground now adays..besides low rope is more of a technique than brute strenght, just jump up, loop up the rope and curl your body up..
  
  I did train up my running prior to NS as i went to the gym too much and my mass was too much.haha..i initially ran my 2.4 in 18 mins slowly cut down to 11 min...1 rountine i did was after the run usually a 2.4 run to end of track, followed by a light run back..i always went to the excericse station to do chinups, situps and pushups. This might be very exhuasting, but i realised it helped me build up my endurance in strenght and grit.especially the chinups..ifu could manage 10 chinups after the run, you will find yourself piulling 16 chinups fresh.

  I'd agree with that.
  
  Doing the situps, push ups and chin ups after a run (maybe 2km plus?) would mean you are able to do more when you are fresh
