Real competitive sports don't happen until HS
If you know that your kids are NCAA material, then it's pretty obvious that you need to send them to a division 1 sports program, to maximize their chances for recruitment.
For the rest of us, however, many of us will be playing b-ball at the YMCA so why not just get your kids over there, to start with.
It (API) was never intended for Realtor®s and Quants to Gin Up people on where to over pay for housing nor for Tiger Mom to Keep Her Face in the Pecking Order of her Social Circle.
Love it... you should emphasize the "HER" social circle...
