ECI was founded in 2004 by Dan Hodgson and stands for “Every Childs Important”. Our goal has always been to provide athletes with the opportunity to play AAU basketball during the spring/summer months. We have players that come from North Dakota, Minnesota, and Montana from our bigger cities to our farming communities. We currently have boy’s teams ranging from 6th graders (12u) to 11 graders (17u). We take pride in hard work and dedication to the gym while also teaching players fundamentals and basic skills.

• Players will learn to compete in a challenging basketball environment
• Players will develop a sense of achievement which leads to a positive self-image and leadership skills
