Networking Timeline Freshman IB

Hello, I'm currently a freshman at a nontarget looking to a SA internship at a BB in my junior year. How exactly should I go about networking? I assume it's too early to start reaching out to people at the BBs, so should I just start with local smaller firms? When would a good time be to start networking with BBs?
