[quote=Anonymous]If OP is interested in sending both twins to same school, a school in the MAC or PVAC leagues is the best option. First, there are more schools that are coed in those leagues and they offer less competitive team options for DS. Sounds like OP’s DD would have more options because of the differences in numbers of kids trying out/caliber of players between boys and girls sports, but DS despite being a strong athlete will have an uphill fight to earn a spot on the bench.

Personally I’m not sure why people get so hung up on which school has the best teams. OP’s original post sounded like they were looking for balance and trying to figure out if there is a school that would work for both twins. We don’t have twins but have had several DCs go through area schools and all participated in a sports team in some way or another. No one was going to play in college so we focused on finding a school with the best balance of academics and sport of DC’s choice. For all DCs this meant a school where that sport was middle to bottom of the pack rankings wise and at the end of the day DCs had a great hs experience because they got to play all four years, were prepared for college, and not one has ever looked back with regret that they didn’t pursue a “higher level” sport X school.
