At the season kick-off, the internal tournament, the club trip. Afín connects members by level, goals and availability. Without having to ask everyone individually.
The club grows, new members join, more events get organised. But training groups always form by inertia, not by affinity.
You've been looking for someone to train with on Saturday mornings at your pace. Three people in the club would be a perfect fit. The problem is you haven't met them yet.
The club organiser knows who's who. But they have 80 members and an event every month. They can't introduce everyone to everyone or spontaneously coordinate groups.
Joining an established club is hard. The bonds are already formed. New members join in on activities but don't really connect until someone takes them under their wing.
Running club, season kick-off. A member who has been training alone for months spots three people in the room who run at the same pace and are also looking for a group for their Sunday long runs. Without Afín, they would have walked out the door not knowing they were looking for each other.
How many members participated, how many connections were made, which profiles were most active. A concrete way to show that the club connects people, not just organises activities.
