Club coach was our primary go between. The HS coach offered to be of help, but son had not played for him yet. Not difficult...visited and they have a good idea what they want, and if it is a good fit with what you want you can commit to it or pass on it with a mutually pleasant understanding to stay in touch later. I did not make direct contact, the club coach was the go between to arrange it to have my son call or to have me call to follow up on anything. I got the sense quickly that Dads who just call coaches is not best way, so I took the early advice to not be that Dad type. If I or my son needed feedback, we'd rely on the club coach to clear the brush and I am glad we did.
