text: There are a lot more activities then one might think. For example, there's a Harry Potter club, arts and crafts club, and even a homework club, to help you with your homework. One good reason to participate in these activities is that its a way to branch out and try to new things. Joining a sports team can be a great way to make new friends and get exercise. In the future, it looks good on college applications and can also lead to scholarships. After school activities can take up extra time that you may have after school, and most clubs aren't every day, usually once or twice a week.
