ECI: Academy
Youth Athletics Skills Training Program
for Boys and Girls in grades 1-12
ECI Academy: Basketball, Volleyball, Tennis, Baseball Year-round
ECI Academy is a year-round athletics skills development program for kids who want to be challenged and improve their own skills. The ECI Academy staff has many years of coaching and teaching experience and will work to help each child become a better player, no matter what their ability level. Players will be challenged while having fun and learning athletics and life skills.
ECI Youth Services currently operates ECI Academies for Basketball and Tennis, and we will soon be expanding to offer Baseball and Volleyball. ECI Academy is open to youth across the Southern Red River Valley. We are committed to providing a safe, fun, and challenging environment for participants from around the region. At ECI, we are dedicated to the success of each and every child, no matter their ability level, and no child will be denied opportunity based on their financial situation. We offer opportunities for participants to earn the cost of their membership by working at our tournaments and events throughout the year. Every child is important at ECI, and we want every child to have the opportunity to live up to their own potential.
