Frank, I think there is a place for sports in schools - if nothing else it teaches teamwork. But for those with little or no aptitude (and I was one of those myself!) there should be an alternative. I know I only began to enjoy PE at high school when we reached the sixth form and were allowed to do keep fit to music rather than hockey/netball. I agree with you that subcontracting to a local gym woudl be useful for those who don't take to team games.
