In Memoriam: Peter Kivits (1948-2024)
27.06.2024
It is with deep regret that we announce the passing of Peter Kivits, one of the founding members of Pusphaira. He passed away on June 18, 2024.
Peter’s history with Pusphaira began in 1965 during his initiation period at student association Demos. Peter, along with Paul Verhagen, Pi Jonkers, and Paul van Exel, was tasked with establishing a football club. On October 12, 1965, the founding GMM of Pusphaira was held at the Demos society on Willemstraat.
On the left you see Peter during Pusphaira’s first GMM.
Peter served as a board member during it’s first season, in which they immediately became champions. After the first season, he, together with Prof. Dr. Van Lint managed to appoint Peter’s brother as (head) trainer. This required quite some ingenuity on their part, as in those days only students were allowed to be trainers for student associations.
In 1967, Peter Kivit’s Mother created our first flag, a green and blue banner.
Peter’s passion for Pusphaira remained throughout his life. During the old board reunion last fall, he filled the canteen with his energy and ideas for Pusphaira’s 60th anniversary. Sadly, Peter will not witness this milestone, though his spirit and contributions will forever be a part of this club.
Our deepest condolences go out to Peter’s family and friends.
Rest in peace, Peter Kivits.
Jeffrey Henderson Elevated to Permanent Trainer Position
20.02.2024
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

New interim Head Trainer appointed for Pusphaira 1
20.12.2023
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.

A cantus cannot be forgotten when celebrating a Lustrum year of a student organization. That’s why on 19 November we will have a special Lustrum cantus! If you are not familiar with what a cantus is you can find some information on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantus. The cantus will consist of many of your favourite canteen songs and of course plenty of beers! More information about the price and location will follow soon.
No lustrum celebration can pass by without a fancy gala evening. How interesting will it be to see our crazy ‘lompe’ soccer fanatics change their safe and comfortable environment of the Hondsheuvels canteen, into a ballroom? So, dress up and enjoy an extravagant evening with your fellow teammates! The gala will close off the 11th lustrum celebrations of our beloved club, be there to not miss out on elegant outfits, dancing to an actual band (although we do love our own lustrumband: the Vlamtosti’s), and foremost, unlimited drinks! WHAT?!
It is also possible to join dinner beforehand, at the gala location itself. For only €40 you can enjoy a 3-course-dinner, including unlimited drinks, AGAIN! The dining room includes a great panoramic view, where you can enjoy good food, a lot of drinks, and great company. What’s not to like? Afterwards the party will move to the ballroom, where we will dance and drink the night away. You are more than welcome to bring a +1 to this event.

5×5 tournament
18.05.2021
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!
