Jeffrey Henderson Elevated to Permanent Trainer Position
20.02.2024
geplaatst door Nathan IJpma

ESVV Pusphaira is delighted to announce Jeffrey Henderson’s transition to Permanent Head Trainer of Pusphaira 1.

With a UEFA B license and experience as trainer at Lommel SK and PSV’s soccer school, Henderson’s credentials are impressive. As ladies 3 trainer last year, he showed his tactical depth and ability to inspire young adults.

After his appointment as interim trainer, the first men’s team has seen significant improvements in performance, cohesion, and competitive spirit. We were impressed with his extensive tactical preparation of the players during the winter break. The organizational changes we made on his suggestion have improved focus and discipline in the first and second team. And, as is important for every trainer, he has a good relationship with the players and a good grasp on the vibe within the group.

We are excited for the continued impact Jeffrey will have on the selection and the club as we move forward with confidence and ambition.

Please join us in congratulating Jeffrey Henderson on his contract extension and in wishing him continued success in his role.

Sincerely,

The 59th Board of ESVV Pusphaira

We regret to inform you that Dylan Leermakers will no longer be serving as the Head Trainer of our first men’s team. We want to thank him for his efforts during his term and wish him well in his future endeavors.

Jeffrey Henderson, currently a trainer within the youth departments of PSV and Lommel SK and former trainer of our ladies 3, will take up Dylan’s duties as interim Head Trainer.

We are confident that under Jeffrey’s management we can bring back stability and positive competitive results to Men’s 1 while we look for a permanent arrangement for next season.

5×5 tournament
18.05.2021
geplaatst door WebCie

It’s time for one of the best events of the season, the 5×5 tournament. As it stands now, the tournament can take place on Friday July 2!

This year the tournament set up will be a bit different than you are used to, as it will only be held for Pusphaira members. This is because there are still various guidelines that we must adhere to.
Depending on the developments regarding the Corona measures, the final set-up can still change, but we will inform you about this in time.

The focus is therefore on the internal bonding between the members of Pusphaira to celebrate the end of the season. That is why registration will take place individually and the committee will make the team classification. We strive to place you in a team with 1 to 2 people according to your preference, but we cannot guarantee this.

There is also the possibility to enjoy a tasty pizza which can serve as a base for the beers that will flow. You can indicate your preferred pizza when registering. The costs for this are still unknown, but will be about €6,-.

Date and time: July 2, 2021 from 16:30h
Location: Sportspark, the Hondsheuvels
Contact us: pusphaira5x5@hotmail.com
Event will be cash free!

Trainers update
11.03.2021
geplaatst door Bestuur

The contract of Ferry Smith, the men’s goalkeeper coach, and Teun Bosch, the women’s head coach, have been extended by one year! In addition, Twan van Helvert, trainer of P2, and Leontien Cremers, the women’s goalkeeper coach, will also stay next season. Earlier it was announced that Daan Guldemond will also be head coach of the men’s selection next year.

Ferry Smith has been a great asset to the club for years. Next year will be Ferry’s fifth year at Pusphaira. The board and the keepers of the selection are very satisfied with Ferry and are very happy with the extension of his contract. An experienced goalkeeper coach gives the goalkeepers the important extra skills they need.

Teun Bosch will also continue to train and coach ladies 1 next year. Next year will be his seventh year as a coach at the club, but before that he was also a member of Pusphaira. Ladies 1 played third division this season, after the ladies were promoted last season. In addition to his trainer qualities, he also has a lot of experience within Pusphaira and that has many advantages.

Twan is the newest addition to the club, as next year will be his 2nd year at Pusphaira. Training a student team was new to him, but he really enjoys it. The 2nd team is also very satisfied with Twan, as he is always cheerful and gives good training. The cooperation between him and Daan goes smoothly and together we create a good men’s selection.

Finally, we arrived at Leontien, the ladies’ goalkeeper coach. Like Teun, she has been known to Pusphaira for some time. She used to be the goalkeeper of the 1st women’s team, but due to injuries she had to stop playing football. Fortunately, she enjoys training and has the opportunity to pass on all her keeper secrets. In addition, Leontien can be found in various committees where she actively participates and helps the club even more.

We can train again!

After the announced relaxation of the cabinet, students (who are younger than 27 years) can train in a team again from 3 March! During these training sessions there is no longer a need to keep a meter and a half distance from each other. However, this must still be done before the start of the training and after the training. For now, each team can train once a week for 90 minutes. This is due to the limited capacity at the sports park in connection with the curfew. In addition, other (indoor) sports associations will also make use of the sports park. In order for everything to run smoothly, it is important that everyone reads the protocol carefully!
