HS coach recruit impact

<p>My son hasn't had a good relationship with his HS soccer coach. Can he not list his HS coach or will that upset college coaches? He is really in good with his club coach who wrote him a great recommendation and club team is highly ranked. What if the HS coach says something bad, like average player bad attitude because he doesn't get along? My son is only looking division 2 or 3.</p>

<p>We listed both, and in fact the HS coach had resigned, so we listed the new HS coach too. The club coach is the HS coach for our rival HS, so pretty much everyone was confused anyway. It all worked out.</p>

<p>Just make it easier for the colleges to contact the club coach and they’ll probably start with that name.</p>

<p>I would list his name, but maybe no contact info. Since college coaches really don’t recruit out of HS, I doubt they are going to contact that coach anyway. When our son was going through this, most college contact was in follow-up to tournaments and often went throught the club coach anyway. I don’t know of any college coach that ever contacted his high school coach.</p>
