Reply to "Top 3 takeaways from parents who have been there"

I never responded to this mostly because it feels like there are so many takeaways, but I'll give it a shot...

1. Don't be afraid to ask coaches questions that are on your mind. Listen carefully to the answer.

2. Don't base your decisions entirely on who the coach is - especially a position coach, he will likely not be there long.

3. Know your player, his level, where he fits and what is most likely to work in his favor in terms of exposure - ask someone reputable that you're not paying for lessons if you don't know yourself (e.g. HS coach, area scout, even a local college coach)
