I was educated at a comprehensive school and my experience of sports is that the three PE teachers were interested in their football and rugby teams (about forty boys out of a school population of 1,200) and that was it.
No-one else mattered and no-one else was taught anything.
For instance, there were lots of free weights in a large storage area and I never saw them used once.
Typically PE was two afternoons per week, with several classes (30 or so to a class) taking part. We would be split up into different football matches and the PE teachers would look after one match (with their star players) and the rest of us were just expected to get on with it. Same with rugby.
Only one summer term in all the time I was at the school did we do athletics (which I was quite good at).
A few boys got to play tennis but no idea how they managed it, except that the really keen tennis guy was the son of one of the teachers, and like most teachers' sons got special treatment.
Lack of school playing fields was not the issue.
The problem was the teachers not doing the job they were paid to do.
Lazy worthless teachers.
