Your best memory of school PE? And the worst?

Best: Outdoor hockey cancelled on a wet, stormy January afternoon. Relocating in the warm to do do gymnastics with my friends 🤸‍♀

Worst: Coming back after a lesson to find my school uniform thrown into the showers.

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.

@Oneofthestormboys 😬

Hard PVC balls smacking into any part of the anatomy is painful.

@GentleLucille Back then it was considered that it would “make a man of you”, and some paedophile PE teacher would take great delight in inflicting as much pain and misery as he could.
I went to an all boys school, and the only kids that were treated well were the sports stars. Everyone else was cannon fodder.

@Oneofthestormboys I am sorry about that 😞

@GentleLucille That’s ok. Just the way it was back then.
