text: When you do extracurricular activities you are able to make new friends. This is a great way to just join in with everyone and have a lot of fun and meet new people. When you do activities in sports you can meet new people who also love sports or who have other of the same interest as you. When you maybe do and extracurricular activity for an art club you can meet other people that love art and then maybe you guys can become friends. I once did a basketball club in Elementary school. Even though I was not that good I still met friends who were just like me just there to learn. That is why extracurricular activities are great ways to meet new friends.
