Your best memory of school PE? And the worst?

Worst = being taught the rules of Rugby on a freezing February aternoon - standing around on frozen mud , getting frozen ourselves whilst he explained to us that Rugby is a game for Gentlemen, Soccer is a gentlemen's game.

Best = mixed field hockey - but I did not understand why the girls had to dress as if they were doing gymnastics and we boys were properly dressed for Rugby - wierd....!!

PE was pretty much very easy for me. I was good at sports and big and scary enough not to be a target. Sadly when I look back there's probably some people might remember me as their worst memory. For reasons that may be obvious I was overdoing the macho tough guy.

Best might have been far outperforming everyone else at doing chin ups. I have a deceptively good build for doing them, and I practiced them each day outside of PE back then, so I probably surprised a lot of people. (I should add that I was very ordinary at weight lifting in general.)

Worst was probably projectile vomiting after running my hardest in fitness testing. But even in the moment, my friends and I knew it was going to make for a funny story afterward.

Girl in 10th grade showing the class how to punt a football. She dislocated her knee and screamed till she got taken to the ER.

Another girl in 10th grade would come to class with dozens of hickeys all over her neck and other areas. So proud of it on Monday mornings. She would also brag that her grandmother had been the madam of a bordello.

Best: I was a varsity athlete, so PE usually meant doing nothing, but one of my coaches would send me across the street to the fishing tackle store to buy fish bait so we could go fishing together after school. Worst: Going for a long pass from our quarterback and running into the blocking sled, hitting my mouth on the steel spring and cutting my lip, requiring stitches.

Best: when it was over and there was a whole week before the next one.

Worst: the entire experience of being made to feel inadequate, humiliated and embarrassed.

Apart from that, it was a riot.

Best grade 9 When I won first place on pull-up bars and beat the girl who was 100% sure she’d win . We ended up friends after that.

Worst in grade 4 we were running around gym and I tripped and fell on my face and broke my front tooth

I don't think anything qualifies as a BEST memory of school PE !

WORST memory: the communal showers afterwards, especially the laughter at seeing well-punished buttocks !

Best memory was when they cancelled PE, worse is when I had to run 2.4 had a migraine and threw up

The worst: being the worst in the class to climb a rope.

The best: after getting a Weider 110 lb weight set for Christmas, I climbed that same rope tout de suite a year later :D

Best: playing hockey, because I was good at it!

Worst: all other sports, because I was really bad at them.

Best: Rainy day in the gym playing (I’ll say it politically correct) Tackle the guy with the ball.
Worst: square dancing

The worst would have been standing in the defensive wall for a free kick on a freezing January morning, and the biggest kid in the school taking a run up from the halfway line to blast a pvc “school grade” football straight into your nuts.

It was 50 years ago. My only memory is wearing a shirt like this.

We I made out with Laurie in the supply room while her boyfriend was running a 5K
