Surge Academy of Hollywood, Florida, having just completed its first two years as a school and gaining a national accreditation, has taken another milestone step. The school announced today that it will improve its football program by hiring a permeant head coach for the first time during the 2021-22 academic school year. Frist year head coach, Dee Powell, has been hired to lead Surge Academy into its first full season.
“It’s been my dream to build a program from the ground up,” Powell said.
Coach Powell has over 10 years of experience, as an assistant coach, in Miami-Dade county. Powell comes to Surge Academy having most recently served as the assistant head coach at Avante Guard Charter, also in Hollywood, Florida.
“Beginning a new program, my first thought was to hire the best coach around. Coach Powell is someone I’ve come to know and has great references throughout south Florida with programs and individuals he’s worked with. I was impressed with the depth of experience in the football game. We couldn’t be more excited to have him at Surge Academy,” said school Headmaster Alvin L. Daniels.
Coach Powell is a graduate of Miami-Dade County Schools and he’s married with children, two of whom attend Surge Academy.
Surge Academy is an independent football program playing football interscholastically in South Florida and beyond.
