Yes they would count!
I'd think that would be fine to put down, OP.
I'm guessing extracurriculars have to involve being part of a group/organization of some kind, but I might be wrong. I run marathons, for instance, but I'm not putting it down since it's just a solo activity. I don't think I'll have any extracurriculars to list in fact.

I was wondering putting down off season wrestling tournaments as an extracurricular. I joined a wrestling gym and we practiced in the spring which is the offseason, but I don't know if it would count as an organization.
Hmm, yeah it seems like there could be a lot of situations where it's not clear whether something would "count" or not.
If it's any reassurance though, I doubt many schools are making determining decisions by going straight to extracurriculars. I suppose it might make a slight difference if every other detail on the application is similar to others, but otherwise I'm guessing grades, test scores (if applicable), adequate observations hours, and interviews (if applicable) are the more significant factors.
I figure it is also a good place to put any volunteer / community involvement that is not related to PT obs hours.
