I can definitely see the point too. I was not at all into competitive sports back in elementary school. I did ballet and cheerleading but when it came to soccer or dodgeball...I was horrible. I was tiny too which didn't help. I was last picked for teams. Even worse, during a game of softball when the opponents saw I was up to bat they would move closer infield...how embarrassing.
I would go home miserable and embarrassed. I was excellent at dancing and tumbling but I would come home a loser because I was unable to hit a ball with a baseball bat. I have always felt that PE should be more about fitness then competitive sports. We should keep kids how to stay fit by running or aerobic exercise rather than stick a dodgeball in their hands and say "have fun". I probably would've gotten more out of my PE class if it were more fitness based then competitive sports based.
