They'll be better. The high school coaches are way better and have consequences. Even at a club like NL, they have 3 high school coaches who are stretched really thin and always choose coaching high school over the club when there is a conflict. This also means they care more at the high school level.
If a club director tells you that your MS kid will be coached by a HS coach at club, and that this automatically "means the coaching is good," rest assured is at least half false if not 100% false.
The ironic thing is that about 50% of HS coaches are such awful youth coaches, that you are better off when (inevitably) they do not show up to coach the youth team.
The only (related) worse thing I can think of, is to have public HS coaches evaluating 4-5 foot tall youth players at tryouts. Which is how teams get "that huge kid with the bad back who can't run but also can't shoot."
