Suppose you find a good coach but he wants the parents to sign a one year contract? Is that reasonable?

Not a chance. You start slow with a few lessons to find out if there's a mutual fit. After a few lessons maybe you buy a 6 or 10 pack of lessons. What sort of off season program does the instructor have access to at his facility? What tools does he like to use? Bands, weighted balls, velopro harness, velocity belts??? So many tools out there... There are specific protocols to follow for each of these; the player must be mature enough to understand what he's required to do so he has reasonable gains and prevents injuries.

Before you commit to a pack of lessons, how accessible is the instructor?
