I think Photon and Rathji have given good advice in this thread.
The other key advice, and it's so simple that it is easily the most overlooked, is getting him involved in organized sports.
I just can't recommend it enough for a kid dealing with any kind of 'irregular' emotional control issues.
It's not just the burning out of energy, it's the emmersion in a social team building setting. He'll learn from his peers under the guidance of whatever coaching apparatus is in place.
Even if he is a more of a solitary type, things like competitive swimming or badminton or martial arts are still team sports, only with an individualistic payoff.
