HELPFUL WEBSITES
NCAA.ORG http://www.ncaa.org/
Website that all athletes who wish to play at the next level need to become very familiar.
I highly recommend that if you have an interest in playing at the next level that you begin meeting with your high school counselor as soon as you enter your freshmen year. Be sure the classes you are taking at your high school are part of the NCAA accepted core classes for your school. Don't take anything for granted and constantly check in with your counselor.

I have found this to be one of the most useful tools I have used with my own daughter. I recommend purchasing this book and reading it as earlier as 8th grade. The website has some tremendous tools and the ones that I found most useful were the checklists of things that students should be doing each year they are in high school to prepare them for the recruiting process.
