Back when I was in high school, we took three "core" subjects, hunt'in, grunt'in, and cave painting, plus gym.
In gym, the teacher would just toss out some basketballs, volleyballs, or softballs, and we would "go at it".
My kids, in their high school physical education classes, did it differently, with classes in "life sports", archery, golf, running, tennis, badminton, table tennis, yoga, etc.
I would have loved this class (below) back in the day.

Note: Did anybody else have to square dance with the girls (the one and only time we had coed classes) in junior high school? Do they do that anymore?
