Worst Activities You Have to Do In P.E. Class
Anybody else groan when these are the Phys ed activities?
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.
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.
American football is a sport played by two teams of eleven players on a rectangular field with goalposts at each end. What about if you get hit in the head and randomly get knocked out?
I don't want injury. Also, it's pointless.
Basketball is a sport played by two teams of five players on a rectangular court. The objective is to shoot a ball through a hoop 18 inches in diameter and 10 feet high mounted to a backboard at each end. I was always scared that the ball would hit me in the face because once a boy did that to me on purpose!
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.
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.
I've run out of ideas.
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.
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.
We run the mile every week, and it's pure torture! Sometimes we run the mile twice a week!
The Newcomers
You will have to keep moving actively, and it's very tiring.
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. 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.
Gymnastics is a sport involving the performance of exercises requiring strength, flexibility, balance and control. 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.
This literally traumatized me based on what I had to go through when I was only 12 years old and in the 7th grade.
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 the ball in the other teams goal. 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.
We had to make routines with it once.
Tennis is a racket sport that can be played individually against a single opponent or between two teams of two players each.
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.
