THURSDAY👋⚽FOOTBALL FRIENDLY 20:30-22:00 (Donaucity) w/ SORIN & Video Highlights
Things to know before playing:
Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls;
We play Thursday Night Football (outdoor only) . We play 90 minutes (kick off is at 20:30, and we meet at least 15 minutes before for a warm up phase). Post-Corona football matches are most likely between 14-16 and 28-32 players. If you would like to join please bring artificial turf shoes (like the ones for indoor turf) and shin pads (not mandatory but definitely recommendable).
All I ask is that you come with a good mood, be respectful to everyone, and pay online using the link below.

Other methods for payments.

**\* [Revolut](https://revolut.me/brici)** \- Recommended
**\* [Wise](https://wise.com/pay/me/sorinb256)** \- Also recommended
**\* [Paypal](https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/sorinSocial)** \- Please use non\-Commercial product
We play light: no sliding, hard tackling, fighting, screaming, & hopefully no injuries. We need to respect current regulations in Vienna, Austria.
The main priorities are to have fun and being safe. The drinks are relatively free after the game in the local pub, served to those who have shown fantastic football fair-play skills. We’ll confirm the location, the pitches, and the dressing room numbers via our dedicated Football WhatsApp group. Keep an eye out for the group messages. See you all soon.
Sorin SMS/ WhatsApp +43 6764276984 (please ask to be added to our football groups). We will probably need to confirm your presence if you are coming for the first or second time.
Important management rule:
\> "No shows" are penalized with 10€ fee\. Please remove your name from the list at least SIX\!\!\! \(6\) HOURS before the event\. Book a place via FootballExperiences\.NET using this link
[Kick A Ball via FOOTxp.COM](https://footballexperiences.net/kickaball/)
One small final note:
Please avoid trying to take justice in your hands. If someone is talking bad, complaining, insulting someone, fouling on purpose or committing the usual football shenanigans, please let the organizers know. Measures will be taken, we assure you. Any misbehavior on your part, such as responding in an obscene way, fighting, or leaving the pitch is not a practical and diplomatic way of resolving the issues (it tends to create more tension and cause more problems). Let’s be respectful and mature and try to enjoy the game we all love. That’s why we’re all here. Get to know people from all over the world and have fun!
Thank you.

Sunday TaiJi-QiGong at Stadtpark
Join the TaiJi-QiGong weekly practise! It is open for all levels and beginner friendly. :)
If you want to join please sign in/out as the class will only take place if enugh people join (min. 3, but there is additional another whattsapp group with more people joining)
The price is 13€/ unit.
A few more words about this practise: it consists of bodywork - specific exercises designed to release tension and stress in your body. It also includes joint opening and the actual QiGong practise.
This QiGong you could call Yin-Jang QiGong, as it prepares you for TaiJi (Wu style).
This means it is designed to create balance in your body and movement, restructuring old unhealthy movement patterns and aligning your body.
Also central part of this practise (the most powerful one) is that it leads to inner silence, connecting you with your body and silencing your mind. In this silence many virtues as patience, respect, perseverence, discipline... arise/ are transmitted. It is especially beneficial to strngthen your ability to focus and for stress relief.
If you have any questions, want to join the whattsappgroup or want more informations feel free to text me or write an email: simone_tomasi@yahoo.com
The event will take place also with rainy weather!

(Sunday) Beach Volleyball (2vs2)
This session is for players with solid beach volleyball skills. No beginners, please.
**🔔 Update 04.05.2026**
*The sport center has split the booked courts, meaning they are not next to each other.*
*Because of this, I canceled one court and will continue with two courts only (Court 7 and Court 8).*
*As a result, we are changing the system to 2vs2 only.*
*👉 Please join only if you have the mentioned skill level, so the games stay enjoyable for you and everyone else.*
*Also, a personal note:*
*I am not a fan of registering for sessions far in advance and then canceling on short notice or not at all.*
*Therefore:*
* *I will empty all current participation lists (move to waiting list)*
* *Players will be manually added per upcoming session only*
* *Please make sure your Meetup notification settings are correct, so you don’t miss the moment when you are moved to the participation list*
🏖️ **How We Play**
* 2vs2 only
* 2 courts: Court 7 & Court 8
* Sets to 15 points
* Rotation after each set
* Players rotate fairly across courts and teams
✅ **What We Expect From Players**
* Solid and safe beach volleyball fundamentals
* Ability to play 2vs2 at a consistent level
* Good self‑organization on and off the court
* Fair, reliable participation
💰 **Costs**
€8–10 per person, depending on the number of participants.
❗ **Cancellations**
* Cancellations within 24 hours of the event must be paid (unless a suitable replacement joins)
* Waiting list: regulars are preferred, but once you are confirmed, you stay confirmed
🤝 **Fair Play**
Respectful behavior only:
* No insults
* No disrespect
* No arguments
ADVANCED badminton players wanted!
Thank you for visiting this event page!
* Are you an advanced badminton player? If yes - WELCOME!
* The earlier you sign up, the bigger your chance to reserve a place - once 9 players have signed up already, you move to the waiting list.
* Once the waiting list has 3 or more members, I will try to book an additional court, but no guarantees.
I need to close the registration 24h before the event as I will then have to decide whether to cancel any court due to a shortage of players.
The fee per player will be €10.00 for 2 hours. This will also cover the feather shuttles used during play.
Please be on time as a curtesy to the other players. In addition, if you are on the players' list and don't come (i.e. no show), you will be automatically excluded from this group.
Coding Club 💻❤️
**Hey everybody!**
Do you want to code together, share your projects, or just hang out in a creative atmosphere?
Then join us at the **Coding Club @ Jo&Joe Hostel**!
We usually start with a short introduction round so everyone can get to know each other.
After that, you can:
* share your achievements or pet projects (informal, just at the table)
* get feedback or inspiration from others
* or simply work on your own project alongside the group
Bring your laptop (or any device you like to code on) if you want to actively work.
