I can honestly say Penn-Ohio Athletics has been a true blessing to me.  The coaches not only improved my skills on the court but taught me lessons that I can apply off the court.  While playing for Penn-Ohio, my characteristics such as discipline, hard work, dedication, encouragement and team work have all been strengthened.  This organization has given me opportunity to continue to play the sport I love

Justin, I want to personally thank you for inspiring me to be a better person.  Your handling of a difficult situation in your life has shown me how I should handle things in my life as well.  Amy and I both believe that our kids are not only better basketball players but more importantly better people from being involved in your program.  Our kids are growing up during a time of many different challenges and it is very important to have them around good solid role models.  People who set the bar high and lead by example.  The Penn Ohio Family to me is indeed exactly that.  I want to thank you and Vicki for being a positive influence and for making the sacrifices that you do for the Penn Ohio Athletic Club.  God Bless you and your entire family.

 Coming and playing blue storm basketball was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. All of the coaches at the organization care about all of the players not only as basketball players but as people too. They helped me to become a better player and gave me the experience that I then took back to my school. I would not have reached some of the accolades that I did without the help from the great people from the Penn Ohio Athletic Club. I am now prepared for the next level at Hiram College.

 My son Dylan Schmidt played for the Penn-Ohio Blue Storm and I have to say the experience was a great one. He had the opportunity to play with a lot of student/athletes from other school districts and it only made him better. Coach Magestro and all the coaches were always there for the boys to help them in any way they possibly could and to cheer them on. The hard work and dedication really pays off for both players and coaches, I am so glad my son got to play for Coach O'Dell. He is a true asset to the club!!!!

Coach Justin Magestro is basketball 24/7. I personally consider him an expert in coaching basketball especially in the fundamentals of the game. The results have been proven in the 1st year of the program which brought home a national championship for the 17/18 year old girl's program.

 I would have never been able to start as freshman for my high school team and compete at the varsity level had I not participated in the Penn-Ohio Athletic Club and the competition of AAU basketball.
