The Affinity Story.

We always want to make sure our son is surrounded and supported by positive mentors and teammates and this team accomplished both! We especially appreciated how losing a game was handled with grace and care - an extremely important lesson for our son’s first team games introduction.

Corina (Parent, Rocket League Player)
Although the hardships of building a new team became immediately apparent, our team made stronger connections through the entire experience of winning and losing. Most importantly everyone was open to improvement.

Jaden (Captain, Rocket League & Valorant)
I saw my son grow in leadership, confidence, and communication, plus he made new friends, had fun, and learned from great mentors - exceeded all my hopes as a parent, all sports teams should be this positive!

Dawn (Parent)
Affinity has provided our son a supportive, fun, and educational experience. He is learning leadership and team building skills that will help propel him forward in life. Mark and the Affinity team have been amazing!!

Catherine (Parent)
Affinity is one of the most positive places I have been to, they have taught me teamwork and being a good teammate. Win or loose they are always positive and looking for a way to improve on everyone, one step at a time.

Jackson (Player, Rocket League & Valorant)
Playing on a team has not only increased my knowledge of the games I play, but has also opened up the opportunity to meet awesome people, encourage me to try new games, and gave me a feel of what competitive gaming is really like.

Bray (Player, Valorant)
