Extracurricular activities are activities performed by students that fall outside the realm of the normal curriculum of school or university education. Extracurricular activities exist at all levels of education, from 4th-6th, junior high/middle school, high school, college and university education. On average, in the United States, many students participate in a minimum of one extracurricular activity throughout the course of one school year. Such activities are generally voluntary as opposed to mandatory, non-paying, tend to be Athletics, social, and philanthropic as opposed to scholastic, and involve others of the same age. Students often organize and direct these activities under faculty sponsorship; although student-led initiatives - such as independent newspapers - are common. From Wikipedia under the

Q. are hobbies, or sports that you do continously outside of school counted as an extracurricular activitie for college? Are 2 activities such as band and basketball good enough if you've done it for all 4 years for a UC? Asked by rythmBaller - Tue Oct 30 22:37:24 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. It depends on how much you have put into those things. If you went to practice once a week, probably not. If you were continuously involved, yes. As to hobbies, if you mean things like stamp collecting, or crafting, then no, they don't usually count.
