Volleyball: Learning Discipline Through Movement
The Prepanet & PEACE Volleyball Club launched this month under Physical Education Tutor Juan Carlos's leadership. Beyond competitive sport, volleyball serves as a mechanism for cultivating discipline, respect, and teamwork. Carlos, a state-level player and University of Guadalajara graduate, emphasizes that "every serve and every rally is an opportunity to grow stronger in mind and spirit."

Under guidance from Executive Director José Antonio Salgado and tutors, student ambassadors are developing leadership through empathy and collaboration. These emerging leaders coordinate events, promote sustainability initiatives, and bring creative projects to campus life.
Fostering Awareness and Emotional Health
