Presently the national education system reports serious problems faced by the students in the pneumatic rifle shooting, long throws, ski racing and trekking skills tests. We run a questionnaire survey of the 9-10 year-olds’ attitudes to the school physical education lessons, self-reliant off-class physical education and sport service and Russian Physical Culture and Sports 'Ready for Labour and Defence' (GTO) Complex tests with a special attention to the practical throwing, swimming and shooting skills. The 3-4-grade students (n=259, 50.6% male and 49.4% female) of Secondary Schools # 32, 44 and 46 in Surgut were sampled for the questionnaire survey in November through December 2018. The survey found only 40% of the sample committed for the school physical education service. The efforts to train the school student population for the Russian Physical Culture and Sports 'Ready for Labour and Defence' (GTO) Complex tests need to be supported by new class and off-class physical education models and tools, with a special emphasis on the off-class formats that offer certain freedom being unlimited in time, and with the training process being widely customizable to the individual needs and interests of the students within the actual service conditions at schools.

Keywords: 9-10 year-olds’ attitudes, Russian Physical Culture and Sports 'Ready for Labour and Defence' (GTO) Complex, physical fitness, practical skills.
