[quote=Anonymous]That's an odd question honestly.  How old is your kid?

For any parent who might have a kid interested in playing in college --

1.  Talk to your coach.  They and their club will know quite a bit about recuiting.  Go to any presentations they have.

2.  Read.  Read.  Read.  You need to know the rules and guidelines for recruiting kids in your kid's sport, and for their sex.  Recruiting for girls is different than guys in soccer.  It is important for parents to understand the rules involved so they can advise kids appropriately.  There are lots of things out there, but NCAA also has some good stuff.

3.  Make sure your kid is keeping options open and doing what is needed academically.  Talk to their school counselor and tell them.  This is a good thing to do early on so that they can help with things like getting registered with the NCAA and dealing with odd timing of transcripts being sent, etc...  College coaches work on different time frames than regular college apps.  Having the high school counselor up to date on what is going on can be a life saver.
