Come join us on playing the small astro outdoor pitch with walls and goals at Jahn-Sportpark. Like inside Hallenfußball - but outside! We play 4vs4 or 5vs5 with up to 2 sub each team. Fun Fun Fun! Do you like to play football - but relaxed and not with competitive or aggressive players? Are you a bit lazy, a bit old, a bit unfit or just not so talented? Are you tired of over-competitive emotional bros who only want to show off their skills and desperately need to win? **Then [Lousy & Lazy Football](https://www.instagram.com/landlsc/) is the right thing for you!** We are a group of friendly people who just want to have a relaxed kick. All genders, ages (18+) and nationalities welcome. Note: **We** only play with "Multinocken" (multistuds) or shorter. Please have a look here: [link](https://www.11teamsports.com/de-de/fussballschuhe/multinocken/). Rules for lazy & lousy football 1. **Don’t be competitive** 2. **No hard tackling/sliding challenges** 3. **Support new and less skilled players by giving them the time and space to play the ball, dont intercept passes to and from them** 4. **Don’t dribble past multiple players (trying to take on one player is fine).** 5. **Don’t close down the defenders too quickly. Give the team a chance to play the ball out.** 6. **Rotate the goalkeeper** 7. **Be a teamplayer, pass the ball.** 8. **We enjoy shooting goals, but we dont count them. Winning / losing doesn't matter.** This meetup is for members of the Lousy & Lazy Sport Club. If you want to try out our lousy & lazy sport events, you can do a trial run (Probetraining).

We invite you to take part in a shared cinematic experience built around reflection, atmosphere, and meaningful conversation. *Stalker* by Andrei Tarkovsky is a meditative and visually striking journey into a mysterious place known as “The Zone,” where the laws of reality seem to shift and a hidden room promises to fulfill one’s deepest desires. A guide known as the Stalker leads two men — a writer and a scientist — through this forbidden landscape, where every step is uncertain and nothing is as it seems. More than a conventional narrative, the film unfolds as a philosophical and emotional exploration of faith, doubt, and the search for meaning. Through long takes, haunting imagery, and a slow, immersive rhythm, Tarkovsky creates a space where viewers are invited to question not only the characters’ motivations, but also their own inner desires and beliefs. The journey into the Zone becomes a deeply personal experience, making each interpretation unique. **1\.

IMPORTANT!!! THE DATE OF THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CHANGED TO SUNDAY MAY 17, 2026!!! A very unusual choice for his group... Unknown Number: High School Catfish is an American [true crime](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_crime "True crime") documentary film directed by [Skye Borgman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skye_Borgman "Skye Borgman") and released to [streaming](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streaming_media "Streaming media") on [Netflix](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netflix "Netflix") on August 29, 2025.

It also explores the increasingly great impact of the harassment on the community, the eventual reveal of the culprit, and the trial that followed.

This documentary contains crude terminology and deals with cyberbullying, which may be a trigger for some folks. Please be ready to discuss the movie by 7PM. Thanks. Unfortunately, it is only available on Netflix. If you would like to attend but do not have Netflix, say so and maybe we can figure something out.
