How Athlink works, from finding a game to playing it.

Athlink brings the people together. The host sets the game and decides who joins; the app keeps the roster and the chat private until then.

  1. The Play tab of the Athlink app: upcoming games in Surat by sport, with the time, places left and host of each.

    Find a game in your city

    • Set your home city once, or browse another city when you travel.
    • Games are listed by start time, with the sport, the level, the host and how many places are left.
    • Filter by sport, search by name, or switch to Players to find people to play with.
  2. A game page in the Athlink app: Saturday Night Football, 5-a-side, 6 of 10 places filled, the venue hidden until the host approves you, and a Request to join button.

    Ask for a place

    • Each game page shows the sport, the level, the day and time, the places and the host’s rating.
    • It shows the venue too, so you know where it is before you ask. The player list stays hidden until the host approves you.
    • Requesting is one tap. It cannot be undone, and a game you leave cannot be rejoined, so the app says so before you confirm.
  3. The host’s view of a game in the Athlink app: three join requests waiting, each with the player’s rating and reviews, and Approve and Decline buttons.

    The host decides

    • Hosts see every request with the player’s level for that sport, their rating and their reviews.
    • Approve or decline with one tap. Approval is final, so it happens where the places and the player are both in view.
    • Capacity counts the host: a ten-place game is ten people including the host.
  4. A game chat in the Athlink app: players arranging lifts, bibs and water for Sunday morning box cricket.

    Plan it in the chat

    • Approval opens the roster and the game’s chat.
    • The chat stays open until the game ends and remains readable afterwards.
    • Direct messages between players have their own lifecycle and can be archived.
  5. A player card in the Athlink app: Ananya Shah in Surat, rated 4.8 from 16 reviews, her sports and levels, and when she is usually free.

    After the game

    • Rate the people you played with. Ratings and reviews appear on player cards.
    • Follow players you want to see again. Your player card shows your sports, levels, availability and reviews.
    • Blocking and reporting are available on every profile and game, and moderation decisions can be appealed.
  6. The Host a game form in the Athlink app with football, intermediate and 5-a-side chosen: ten players including the host, nine places for others.

    Host your own

    • Pick the sport, give the game a title, set the day and time, choose the venue and the number of places.
    • Edit the game until it starts. Cancelling tells everyone who was in.
    • Athlink does not book venues or take payment; the host and players agree the venue and any costs directly.
