Top 10 Worst Activities You Have to Do in P.E. Class
Anybody else groan when these are the phys ed activities?
-
Dodgeball
I used to think it was fun, but now in middle school, we play it too much. I always get very hurt.
I suck at dodgeball. I can't throw very well. I am best at dodging a ball, though.
At first, it's fun, but it gets worse and worse.
-
Track
I only put dodgeball above it because here, you can talk with friends. It's so boring though!
I'm the type of person who can't run.
-
Sitting out
-
Football
American football is a sport played by two teams of 11 players on a rectangular field with goalposts at each end. The game involves advancing the ball into the opposing team's end zone to score points. It is most popular in the United States, where the NFL is the leading professional league.
What about if you get hit in the head and randomly get knocked out?
I don't want injury. Also, it's pointless.
-
Basketball
Basketball is a sport played by two teams of five players on a rectangular court. The objective is to shoot a ball through an 18-inch-diameter hoop mounted 10 feet above the floor on a backboard at each end of the court. It is one of the most popular sports worldwide, especially in the United States... read more
I was always scared that the ball would hit me in the face because once a boy did that to me on purpose!

Capture the flag
Not the normal kind, but the kind my school plays where you stuff the flag in your pants and the others try to steal it.
-
PACER test
I had to do this every Friday back in 7th grade, and it SUCKED. Hell, I faked a headache twice just to get out of running during gym class and would often only run 1 or 2 laps by the end of the 2018-2019 school year.
Yep, we have a version of that in Europe, and it's torture. Why do we have to measure how much a student can run without collapsing from heart failure?
I'm pretty sure we can judge a student's athletic ability by just looking at them. No need for these dumb tests.

Sit-ups
-
Push-ups
I've run out of ideas.
-
The mile run
I had to do this back in 5th grade, and I remember almost passing out after the practice mile run. During the real 5th grade fitness test, I faked a leg injury so that I would only have to walk the mile instead of running it. I even pretended to fall down in front of other people so that they would believe me.
No, this is way worse than the pacer. Unlike the mile, in the pacer, if you don't feel like doing it, that's fine - just give up and get a low score. Simple as that.
We run the mile every week, and it's pure torture! Sometimes we run the mile twice a week!

Cardio
You will have to keep moving actively, and it's very tiring.

Soccer
Association football, more commonly known as football or soccer, is a sport played between two teams of eleven players each. It is played with a spherical ball. The objective is to score goals by getting the ball into the opposing team's net. Soccer is the world's most popular sport, governed internationally... read more
I love soccer, but not playing it at school. Anytime you make the slightest mistake, like misjudging where someone will kick the ball, people explode in your face. They get mad at you for making a mistake, which is part of improving. Not fun.
Why do we always play soccer? It is so boring. There are THOUSANDS of sports a class could play, but it always has to be soccer.

Line dancing/Square dancing

Volleyball
Volleyball is a team sport in which two teams of six players are separated by a net. Each team tries to score points by grounding a ball on the other team's court under organized rules.
It is played both indoors and on sand, with beach volleyball being an Olympic event since 1996.
I can't serve the ball, and I have trouble hitting it so that it goes OVER the net.
Dumb and pointless, but some girls I played with were nice.
I hate volleyball. The dumb P.E. teacher is teaching us proper ball throwing technique.

It includes various disciplines, such as artistic gymnastics, rhythmic gymnastics, trampoline, and acrobatics. Gymnastics is a core sport in the Summer Olympic Games and is governed... read more
My friend and I are very bad at P.E., particularly gymnastics. We had to try doing handstands and cartwheels and take a video of us trying on our iPads. Like Jesus, that's actually embarrassing, watching yourself miserably failing on video. My friend can't even tumble, and it pains me to see her being forced.

FitnessGram test
This literally traumatized me based on what I had to go through when I was only 12 years old and in the 7th grade.
-
Yoga
-
Kickball
It's just really overplayed and I suck at it. One thing that I really, really hate about this class is that students always control you and boss you around like you're stupid.
-
Chin-ups
-
Jump rope
We had to make routines with it once.
-
Warm-ups
-
Tennis
Tennis is a racket sport that can be played individually against a single opponent or between two teams of two players each.

80s fitness videos
When I was in high school, my P.E. teacher made the class follow along to fitness videos from the late 80s to early 90s.
