PE kit: shirtless and shorts only?

Jim84 · 14-05-2009, 20:38

Hi!

I've read some forums which say that there are still some schools requiring boys being shirtless for P.E.
Some people wrote on forums that they would like to know the name of these schools.

It wouldn't surprise me if it was now frowned upon for obvious reasons - we used to have a vest for PE but when you were picking teams for stuff it was either vests vs skins or vests vs bibs. As we got further up the school it was more the latter - whether that was general being further up the school or that they were moving away from skins...

If nothing else it's protection against getting a ball or something against your back or something, if you have the clothing there.

why ?

( that is why whats the problem with this )

There is no problem with this I think.
The reason for it it is simply more healthy doing PE shirtless I think.
Boys care more of their bodies and T-shirts can be quite dangerous especially on apparatus...etc for gymnastics.
So there are practical reasons for it.That's why I don't know why it is a rare thing nowadays.

Although I'm sure there are no ulterior motives for this thread, I'm just a little uncomfortable with a thread discussing what schoolboys wear for PE.

Strange first post

Indeed, and I would strongly council anybody that's aware of a school that has adopted the sports uniform policy in question not to post the name of that school here. To do so would be foolhardy at best.

Jim84 · 14-05-2009, 21:24

Sorry I did't want to offend anyone by that topic.
Thera are more and more topics on education forums about that and it suprised me. That's why I asked here whether it is real or not.
Silly topic,sorry....

Yes, don't post the school's names!It was a bad idea to ask.Sorry for it one more time!Policies are their own business.

When I was at school it was shorts and t-shirt, except on the odd occasion like at basketball when it would be shirts v skins.

I don't know why you want to know the names of the schools that used to do PE topless. I'd say a vast majority used to do it years ago.
