School kids who deliberately ditch their sports kits at home in an effort to avoid playing physical sports such as Rugby or Football are being offered a chance to play the Nintendo Wii at a select school in Gravesend, Kent.
They are great to use as a carrot on a stick to get lads disaffected with PE back into enjoying exercise. We have been picking out the youngsters who deliberately leave their kit at home – the ones who are trying to get out of it.

Oh great – offer us an option. Sport or videogames?
I want to go to that school despite being 21 haha.
I can’t see it helping though wii fit and similar games never push the user as hard as a real person who can see and communicate with the pupil.
That’s awesome!!! Imagine that happening in the US…
