Mission Statement

 The Missouri Valley Eclipse AAU Club is a non-profit organization founded in 2002 by Les Eidson and Joe Erskine. The mission of the program is to foster national amateur sports and develop amateur athletes for that competition. These goals are accomplished through techniques that are designed to improve basketball skills, enable players to compete at a high skill level, develop self-confidence, promote sportsmanship, and teach the value of teamwork… all through the sport of basketball. The Eclipse strives to sustain a competitive and respectable organization that maintains integrity at all times, and to promote amateur basketball for all players regardless of race, color, creed, religion, national origin or ancestry.

In 2008 the Missouri Valley Eclipse and the Missouri Valley Power merged into one organization. This exciting event brings together like-minded players, parents and coaches who strive for the achievement of similar goals at all levels of the organization.
