I would tell my son to be polite and give the reason up front so that the coach doesn't have to guess.

"Coach, with me being a senior this year I've made the decision to play with a college prep team rather than a Legion team. I will not be at tryouts next week. This decision was difficult but I think it is what is best for me. I truly hope this doesn't affect our Training relationship because I value your knowledge and guidance. I hope you understand".

If he comes back and says he think you are making a mistake then tell him "It wasn't an easy decision but, right or wrong, this is what my gut is telling me to do."
