We may relocate to Mechanicsburg, PA. What areas are great for active families with young children?

Our children are 3, 6, and 8. We are interested in a Catholic school, but are open to great public schools as well. Our eldest currently plays on a competitive travel soccer team, and we're interested in continuing that for her. Thank you for any input you may have.

Thank you very much! That is very helpful!

We relocated to Mechanicsburg in 2000. Great small community and we send our kids to St. Joseph School. We have been very pleased and plan on sending them to Trinity HS. Soccer is popular around here and there are plenty of good travel teams - HMMS soccer is a very well run soccer program and both my kids love it. Cumberland Valley Schools are quite good - pros: sports & activities Cons: too large, just a number.

I am moving to the same area, and am hoping that SOMEONE will post a response soon!
