Strongsville Schools Athletics Receive $25,000 From Local Company

STRONGSVILLE, OH - Local athletes will be getting a big boost thanks to a major contribution from a local company. Pro Sports Performance, based in Strongsville, donated $25,000 to the district's "Excellence in Athletics" campaign.

“Pro Sports Performance main goal is to make an impact in the Strongsville community. We are excited for the opportunity to not only train Strongsville student-athletes in the physical sense, but also be able to strengthen them mentally, and be a part of their development,” said Reggie Hodges, co-owner of Pro Sports Performance.

As part of the donation, Pro Sports Performance gets the naming rights to the school's weight room and a partnership to support training programs for Strongsville High School athletic programs.

“We are very pleased with this partnership with Pro Sports Performance. This goes beyond the financial commitment to our district. Jason, Reggie and their entire staff have demonstrated a willingness and motivation to make an impact on our student-athletes. We appreciate their enthusiasm and look forward to their impact on our athletic program,” said Cameron Ryba, superintendent of Strongsville City Schools in a press release.

The "Excellence" campaign was started in October 2015 and has raised more than $1.6 million. Pro Sports Performance was founded by two veterans of the NFL, Hodges and Jason Trusnik.

“We appreciate the Board and Strongsville City Schools approving this partnership and accepting our donation. Strongsville’s commitment is clear in continuing to develop its student-athletes and making the athletic program and all of its teams the very best they can be. We are excited to be a part of this important process,” said Jason Trusnik, co-owner of Pro Sports Performance, in a statement.
