I got two twins who will be turning 5 soon, and I would like them to get into a sport where they would have a future. So how do people determine that their kid will be tall, so he will be good in basketball?
How do you decide what fits your kids best?

First of all, in most sports there is a place for both big guys, and the smaller ones – so as long as your kids like something, let them practice this sport, and they will find their way of making it through with their bodies.
Secondly, you can use yourself as an example – look at yourself, and expect your kids to be very similar, only a bit taller, since every new generation gets taller and taller.

Let the kids choose - they're kids.
I would enrol your kids in a bunch of different sports and see which they like the best and excel at. That's the only way to know for sure.
You can make predictions all you want but the only way to know for sure is to enrol them in a bunch of different sports and see which is the best fit for them.

That is what I did with mine. I don't believe in choosing their path for them. My 10 year old loves sports. He plays baseball, hockey, and golf. My 8 year old could care less about sports. He does curling in the winter but it is more of a social thing than an actual sport for him.
That is the thing - I would like to choose a sport where they could physically excel, but now I see that as Lev said, there is a place for all kinds of physiques in all sports.
