It didn't really work like that. If you were good enough to be on the team, you played and that was pretty much that.

Re: School sports/PE/Games

Each year group had one entire afternoon off doing games. E.g. Year 7 on a Wednesday from 1 to 4pm.

I recall in the winter we use to go cross country running at Morden park in Surrey. It was horrible. The pe teacher use to accompany us too. He'd say, "if my students have to go through this hell, I will do too!" After a minute he would complain about a 'stitch in his abdomen and stop running and meet us at the finish line.

Well, it would be more useful than many degree courses these days. ...
... My post-match farts used to amuse and appal my teammates: the changing room provided an excellent opportunity to release atrocious sounds and smells, as did the minibus on the way back from away games (with the added advantage that the master driving us could do nothing about it). So, a Master's Degree: why not?

The PE master sounds a bit of a wimp. There's a thread about cross country and it's more or less divided between those of us who actually enjoyed it and those who hated having to do it.

Living on the coast must have been nice but a pity about the sports facilities being so poor.

It’s often said that it’s the playing and trying hard that’s the most important thing and I’m sure that’s true.

Re: School sports/PE/Games

I hated PE - having to change in the same room as everyone else. My poor coordination was exposed due to my difficulty in catching balls - in other words, I wouldn't have made a very good goalkeeper.

I remember on Wednesday mornings in Junior School, we had to go to this open space park for PE. It was freezing on most weeks, but the teacher who was prepared for the coldest day of the year, and had a nice warm coat on, often said "run up and down, you'll soon keep warm".

You couldn't get out of it, otherwise it would be "vest and pants" or "lost property" in order to make you do it. It was pure torture.

I think most kids found it embarrassing getting changed showered in front of each other.

Teacher is right run up and down and you will build up good sweat and warm up.

I actually enjoyed the running about outside more than the indoor exercises, even in the cold - especially dry crisp weather with a clear but sky. Often enough it would be a grey damp cold which was less enjoyable until you got warm.

I can remember a PE master admitting that his balls were 'bloody freezing'!
