text: Participating in extracurricular activities can also benefit by keeping students in shape and by helping them stay active. Many students in many schools all over the world are overweight or even obese. participating in a sport after school on a daily basis can help students with such conditions. Participating in a sport can help students feel better about themselves and help them lose unwanted weight or attention. I can speak from experience because I used to be overweight and after playing a lot of sports and staying active I now not only play sports to be active, but because its refreshing and fun. Many students can benefit from an extracurricular sport as I did.
