text: My next reasoning is, giving kids good memory's. In competitions there is always a reward, and good remember able thing is achieving that reward for your team and school. The highest achievement to accomplish is winning a tournament with your team. Even if you dont win at least you made it to the the finals. The most important part about extracurricular activity is having a fun time. No matter how popular you are you dont know everyone so get to know your teammates and make new friends. From my experience I played basketball and it was a really fun time but i'll never forget when i scored my first point. I promise you things are a lot more memorable when you do something exciting. Everyday you learn something new which can help you get better at what you activity you enjoy to do, and get to know your aquantince.
