This year’s PPRE Volleyball Challenge was a lively and cheerful gathering, bringing together 6 teams made up of staff, alumni, and students from different batches. The atmosphere was full of energy, joy, and team spirit , a perfect opportunity for the new batches to connect with seniors, alumni, and staff members in a relaxed and fun environment.
ne of the highlights was the surprise participation of the Knagge family: Edu, our PPRE coordinator, joined with his four children to form a special team. Against all expectations, they almost won the tournament , showing impressive teamwork and adding a unique family spirit to the event.
The day was not only about volleyball but also about community. Families, students, and staff shared food and drinks in a picnic-like setting, strengthening the bonds that make PPRE such a vibrant and inclusive community.
In the end, the winners of the tournament turned out to be the team humorously named “The Losers”: a group of PPRE students from the 2023 batch. Despite their ironic team name, their victory was well-deserved, and their performance earned lots of laughter and applause from everyone present.
This year’s PPRE Volleyball Challenge was more than just a sports event, it was a joyful celebration of connection, teamwork, and friendship across batches, alumni, staff, and families.
