Head Coach: Andre Powell
The Man With The Plan​
​
​Andre Powell is the owner and head trainer of P.A.S.S. He is truly one of the best all around trainers in the country, with experience playing QB, WR, and DB'S. Andre, a Florida native, was a standout WR at Pahokee High School back in 2004. During his high school days, Andre was the very first team all state wide receiver, helping his team win a state championship. A rival to be reckoned with, he was a 4 star player. Coming out of high school, Powell committed to the University of Illinois to play defensive back in 2005. A year later, in 2006, he transferred to Hutchinson Community College and played for two seasons. Having gained significant experience and sharpening his athletic ability and overall mastery of football, the mature Andre Powell later moved on to play in the arena league and CFL.
​
Andre has been a professional football coach since 2009, dedicated to the mission of developing young players into elite athletes. As a primary part of this mission, Andre also mentors his players in becoming better men. The end result is the creation of young men who are prepared to be as successful in life as they are on the field.
​
As Andre himself testifies:
"Football helped me in my life... I did not have a father in the home, but my coaches kept me grounded in school & on the field."
Andre's plan is to follow his calling by P.A.S.S.ing this legacy to students.
