I would contact an assistant coach and ask if they are looking to make some extra money with weekend instruction. It will give your son an opportunity to be seen by the coaching staff and they can start to form a relationship before other prospective team members.
What? Is this a sarcastic reply-I hope.
Our coaches r not allowed to give lessons and take money from any players associated w program. How would it look if little Jonny gets to play after he begins paid lessons w a coach?
In the scenario I think we are talking about, little Johnny is not in high school, perhaps middle school. Anyway, the example I am of thinking of a 14 year old taking lessons from one of the HS asst. varsity coaches. Isn't the varsity coach the one who makes the decisions? I see the merit of your response but I didn't intend for my post to be sarcastic. In any event, I look forward to more responses since this is an interesting topic.
