Extracurricular Activities

I am an avid sports fanatic.  I grew up in a private school system that provided extracurricular activities such as sports to participate in.  We had volleyball, basketball, soccer, cheerleading, etc.  We would play against other private schools during the season.  Why aren't there extracurricular sports provided in the public school system here in Mobile?  I know at our school we have Archery, but some of the students aren't interested in that sport.  Do you think that our public school systems should sponsor extracurricular sports for these students?  Why or Why Not?  Why do you think they aren't already providing them with these activities?
