The Military School of Porto Alegre allows students to choose the sport they would like to practice during regular Physical Education classes. Female students tend to choose one type of activity while male tend to choose other. This article aims to debate the reasons why second year of High School students’ do their choices in sports as well as their perceptions about gender issues that may emerge from the classes. The methodology was composed by observation and focus groups in the soccer (32 male and one female), the physical activities (32 female and one male) and the basketball (nine female and ten male) classes. We concluded that the students’ choices are mainly determined by the previous experiences related to physical activities and are significantly related to gender issues.
