I agree that HS freshman year is pretty early to be choosing but it can’t hurrt to begin the process because its Soph and Jr year that matters most. That said, I doubt many coaches will go out of their way to help you arrange the visit. They’re just to busy to look 4 years ahead.

Other questions to ask:
Coach
Are there facility improvements planned? If so when?
What are the academic progress requirements?
Is there special classes or tutoring for athletes?
How much - and when - are conditioning sessions?

Players (If they’re made available)
It really doesn’t make much sense to ask about team personality/chemistry - none of them will be there when she arrives. But you can ask about the coach’s style. Fairness? Recruitment overlap (does she bring in 5 kids for one position?) Playing time decisions?
