    Don't go, and if you get asked why you didn't attend, say that you had diarrhoea.

    Just bunk off, and get your parents to say you were feeling ill if the school phones. Or alternatively, you could just man up and partake in some physical activity.

    Just say you were ill, if you have hayfever then just tell them it was really bad. I've made that excuse up for the past 3 years and no one was suspicious.

    Please be true..tell the truth why you are not interested in study.
    No one will stop you, but doing daily like this is not good.

    Is it a 'non competitive' sports day?

    Zombie apocalypse in your street

    You're training for the Olympics and don't want to be injured

    Flying out to Italy to model for Dolce and Gabanna

    Secret mission in the amazon rainforest

    Deworming orphans in Africa

    Or you could just pull a sickie

    The possibilities are endless!

    Just pretend that you're ill and get a day off. Loads of people do/did this at my school every year. My last Sports Day was in Year 8 and I never got called out for it. If you're lucky, your teachers won't even care; they know it's loathed by anyone not remotely sporty.

    Do you have to participate? At my sports day we all had to sign up for races so we did but then when we were called out to do the race we just went off to another side of the park so they couldn't find us or just told the teachers we weren't going to do it and there was nothing they could do about it... and there wasn't because they either were so busy they didn't even care or they didn't care because they were getting the day off teaching and just wanted to be relaxed.

    Or you could be 'ill'. I'm sure you won't be the only one absent and they might not even call home because they'll be busy.

    You were so excited about sports day that you were practising in the garden and badly twisted your ankle? :ninja:

    Or, just go with the diarrhoea suggestion. That's always the best excuse.

    You were practising for the egg and spoon race, and accidentally swallowed the spoon.

    do what I did on my last (compulosory) sports day, put your name down for something easy (400m relay for example) then wait as rugby-bums (what we called them) who want to show how awesome they are steal it off you....lol

    Just call in sick, half the school didn't turn up for sports day when I was at school and there's no point in being embarrassed in front of everybody.
