Transferring to another high school

Does anyone have advice or experiences they can share?

Your post will be far more likely to stay on point and garnish useful advice if you provide a bit more detail about your situation.  Also, there are several past posts on this subject that you can search.  The general concensus is usually that it is not worth transferring schools just because of baseball.

Would your son want to change schools if they changed principals?

It was similar at my sons school. We went through quite a few coaches. If he would have transferred for that reason he would have missed out on being coached by one of the finest men he has had the pleasure to deal with.

I am certainly glad we did not go down that path for baseball reasons.

Check  your state's transfer rules.  If he transfers just for a sport it usually requires sitting out for a yea, unless there is a change of residency. 

That can be tough.  Only you and your family will know all of the factors in play with this decision.  If your son has been through 4 coaches in 3 years, I assume he is going to be a senior.  So, there are lot's of "big picture" issues to consider before such a move... graduating with his friends, adjusting to a new school for a single senior year, having to earn his way into a new baseball program, transportation logistics, academic comparisons, effect on any siblings, any parent involvement in the school... the list goes on.

I believe your profile says you are in California as am I.  As Foxdad warns, in our state, you cannot transfer for athletic purposes without sitting a year.  I know there are ways around and exceptions but you will certainly want to be aware of the rules.

By now, you are probably aware that the path to college baseball is usually not tied to high school ball, so you won't want to make a decision based on that.

Additionally, if your son wishes to continue playing beyond HS, he will certainly continue to run into challenges that test his desire to do so.  Coaching issues are just one of the many tests.  Determination to push through instead of deciding to go somewhere else is typically the mentality required to succeed. 

I really like Fenway's analogy with the principal.  Granted, your son will be spending far more time with the baseball coach than the principal but there is a lot that can be derived from his statement.

Best wishes.
