Not true in all cases. Club team is very important if you live in a weak district, have a poor HS team, etc. Then I agree you need to have a good club affiliation to get exposure. However, some of the big HS team coaches have long-standing relationships with college coaches and can do a lot to help a kid get recruited. If a kid plays for a top high school program the club team is no longer everthing. So, the importance of the club team is influenced heavily by your high school. The better the HS team, the less a kid needs club. Having said all that, most top HS players still play on a summer club team....and maybe more than one.
