Schools have a duty to support the well-being of their students, and sport is one way to enhance this. Although many young people don't enjoy the competitive side of sport, there are many physical activities that don't require a competitive element, such as hillwalking and caving. Schools should offer these, or other non-competitive physical activities, as an alternative to traditional games lessons. Many people don't continue to play sport after they leave school, yet physical fitness is important in maintaining general health and the ability to work. Introducing alternative physical activities that are attractive for less competitive adults is therefore an important part of preparing students for life after school.
