text: Extracurricular activities could help kids become more social. When you join an extracurricular activity chances are you are in there with some new people that they have never met before. It gives kids a chance to meet new people their age and become friends with them. It could also help the kids that are less social or shy become more social. These kids have a hard time talking to other people and if they are given the chances to meet people and talk to them on a regular basses then hopefully they will become less shy and more social. It can also give these kids something to talk about to others. Like how their team is doing or how they like their activities. It also can help kids get over fears. Maybe a kid has stage fright and they try out for theater and the excel at it and get over the fear of stage fright. Or a kid has a fear of public speaking and they try out for the debate team and that helps the get over that fear.
