As some have said you are a bit early at 7th grade to start getting looked at, but it is never too early to build good habits. Attend some camps, and get your feet wet. Learn what to do and not do both on and off the field. Start thinking about what schools may interest her. I would also sit with her and scrutinize her social media. Above all find a college player who is a Junior or Senior and talk to them about their college experience. Having been through the recruiting process end to end so many times I can tell you that most start off chasing a dream which they know nothing about. Sometimes the result is that they are ill prepared and fail. Not due to lack of physical ability, but due to other factors. In fact very few players wash out because they do not have the physical skills.

For DD1, we mixed college visits and overnight camps all through HS at various types of schools with the intent on figuring out what kind of college environment she was looking for. First visit was freshman year to see what she was working towards, and had her visit and lead the meeting with college coach at a different type of school sophomore year. Went out of state junior year. College is a big transition to independence and the maturity of your daughter being ready to own the process and her game should lead the process.
