OT: Moving to Blacksburg

It appears that a large number of this community have lived in Blacksburg post-graduation, so I come to you begging for information and recommendations. My wife and I are relocating to Blacksburg after living in Lawrence, Kansas for the past 11 years. I've not spent more than a few hours at a time in Blacksburg since I graduated in 2003, and though my wife is from Christiansburg and we visit her family at least twice a year, we don't really get out much during that time. So, with that said, can you all provide some advice on living in town?

I have a 4.5 year old daughter that loves ballet and soccer. I have two dogs - one big, one small. I'll be working from home, so I'll need to get out of the house on evenings and weekends. We're renting a house for the first year, but will likely buy a house sometime next year.

Are there old man pick-up games/leagues in soccer or basketball around town? Not a big softball fan.

Any recommendations on pediatricians, vets, chiropractors, family doctors, doggie daycare?

Any recommendations on kids' activities, dance studios, soccer leagues, swim lessons? We've got her signed up for preschool at St. John Neumann Academy.

What neighborhood(s) should we start house hunting in?

What family activities are there for 30-somethings with young kids? I'll likely be buying season tickets to both football and basketball, but what does one do in Blacksburg in the Spring and Summer?

Thanks in advance for any input.
