If you plan to go to college (and think you might want to go to one where admission is actually competitive), extracurricular activities is definitely something that admissions officers consider. This doesn't mean you should do lots of things you have utterly no interest in, it just means that if it does sound like something you might be interested in it's probably worth trying.
In my case I wound up getting part of my college paid for due to an extracurricular activity I initially signed up for for utterly frivolous reasons. I joined the high school forensics team (not what you're probably thinking) because a girl I liked was on it and it sounded like an easy way to spend most of a weekend around her (and also some other people I was friends with) in exchange for maybe 15 minutes of delivering a speech to a very small audience. That didn't actually go much of anywhere, but I discovered I really liked it and was at least okay at it (I made it to the state finals in one event), so I participated in college as well, and it turned out there was a scholarship available to students on the college team. I also met my future wife on the college team, so you shouldn't necessarily write off extracurricular activities completely as a way to meet girls/boys (whichever you're interested in).
I think it's probably better and more fun to do a FEW extracurricular activities WELL than do a LOT of them poorly, but there's nothing wrong with the shotgun approach early on; investigate a bunch of activities, and later on narrow the focus to the ones you like and are good at. Also, there are probably plenty that don't require you do do much more than show up for the occasional meeting and maybe a once-a-year commitment to actually do something, or are connected to classes so that you're also getting class credit for being in them.
