I'm sure many will find offense to this but one approach is to ask the coach if he does lessons on the side. It's a good way to begin a conversation with him and develop a relationship. I never asked my son's coaches a single question other than what time should I be there to cook at the concession stand. It's a totally different relationship though when it comes to the coaches we hire for lessons.
Whether or not he offers private lessons, it will demonstrate your son's desire to improve and changes the dynamic between he and his coach.

Yeah, nothing helps getting game time like the $100 handshake
