11. Many students participates in one or more school clubs.
-Almost all Japanese middle and high schools have after school clubs available; almost all of the students participate in one or more clubs. Club activities are very important to the students as they not only teach them about certain sports, such as volleyball and soccer, but also of their own culture, such as the traditional tea ceremony or archery club. Clubs will sometimes meet during lunch hours, but most will meet after school, with the sporty clubs often lasting late into the evenings. There is cultural club, such as tea ceremony (さどう, sadou) or archery (きゅうどう, kyudou). For sports you usually must pay for the extra equipment and the practices often last late into the night, and must also attend the games and tournaments.
