Some families might not have enough money for their child to play on a professional sports team, but these kids are given the opportunity to represent for their school teams. School sports teams can help kids accomplish things they could only dream of, and it can become a treasured experience for them. Students can get the kickoff to their career with extracurricular activities. Athletes in high school are often scouted out by recruiters for college teams, which can end up with these students playing in national leagues for a living. Teenagers can put on their job resumes what they accomplished throughout their high school sports career, or even on teams like the debate team. Accomplishments as big as winning state and national championships, or as little as winning a game can help managers get a sense of who you are. Extracurricular school activities have a higher value in different ways throughout your life.
