The first thing a parent should do if they hope that their Student-Athlete plays sports at the college level (D-I or D-II) is to register your S/A with the NCAA Eligibility Center. This should be done prior to the start of or during the S/A's junior year.
After completion of the junior year, an official transcript sent by the school should be sent to the Eligibility Center. SAT and ACT scores should be sent as well, with the institution code of 9999. Eventually upon your S/A's graduation, the Eligibility Center will certify them to compete in college sports.
The fee to register is $60, but if you've received a fee waiver for SAT or ACT tests, you can apply for the same waiver.

A source of information and support for parents of promising high school student-athletes from a parent who survived the recruiting and scholarship process. (Emphasis on football - each sport has different recruiting quirks and processes - but plenty of generic info for a parent of any male or female Student-Athlete)
