Inside Lil Sherm’s World… of Possibilities, what we are hoping for in our "Youth Development” is more than what type of athlete we can “develop” and "prepare" for the “limelight.”
To reach our goal, and objective of “Developing” our Youth’s overall mental and physical “Growth” we feel this must be an exploration, stimulation, and provocation of our “Youth’s” greatest and deepest desires, fears, hopes and dreams.

Designed Physical Developmental Programs / Targeted Kinetic Growth: The Objective/Goal/Vision is to help students realize the importance of maintaining their physical health by introducing certain aspects of Personal Health/Awareness to allow students a better chance at taking better care of themselves Mentally and Physically over the course of their life.
I believe bridging the gap of understanding for students of living a health-conscious lifestyle is also vital to their mental fitness. Too many of our kids need better guidance and understanding in their personal healthcare.
I want students to realize their physical presence in the future will be just as important as their mental presence in the present, and the care taking of their bodies have a direct influence on how strong mentally they will be able to stand in their future.
