Zwift clubs is just getting started, Eddy Lee, the one managing a lot of of the clubs stuff, has posted some information on the forums of what is next. Looking for information on the clubs feature in general? Head to this article: https://zracecentral.com/2022/01/11/a-complete-guide-to-zwifts-clubs-feature/. Here are the changes that might be made in the coming few months with some comments from me. Here is the post from the forums:

What can you expect next release?

• Team has been out from the holidays and will have no significant updates in the January release
• Focus on rolling out Clubs to ALL users Currently at around 40% of users have the feature, it is by devices, so some devices may have it, and some will not

What is Zwift working on now?

• Push notifications when a new club event is created
• Push notifications when there is a new club chat
• Ability to discover and join a club

Club Management

• Push notifications with club events – In Progress Helpful to help get the word out about events
• Push notifications with club chat – In Progress If Zwift enables this, then larger clubs will likely get annoyed if people are constantly chatting…
• Enable moderators to create, edit and delete club events – In Progress
• Ability to search and join a club – In Progress Helpful for club discovery for riders who aren’t too familiar with Zwift group rides
• Push notifications with club announcements – Backlog Seems more important than having notifications on club chat
• Sharing a club via link on web – Backlog
• Ability for non ZC users to join a club – Backlog
• Links in club chat to be clickable – Discovery Helpful when sharing event links, and more
• Dedicated club chat channel – Discovery
• Having more than 100 members in a club – Discovery Helpful for the larger clubs that weren’t in the orginal beta
• See and customize time zones for clubs – Discovery
• Club race radio – Discovery
• Ability to join more than 1 club – Done

Club Events Settings

• Make event only routes available for club events – In Progress Definitely a very welcome feature, brings a lot more customizability to club events
• Reduce the route image size on route selection – In Progress Good feature/change since it takes forever to scroll through the routes
• Steering mode – Backlog
• Double draft mode – Backlog Who doesn’t like double draft 😉
• Fence mode – Backlog Probably not that helpful for smaller clubs, but for larger clubs where event links are shared to the public, the fence will be nice
• Rubbberbanding (keeping everyone to gether) mode – Discovery

Club Event Management

• Ability to configure more than 1 leader and sweeper for backups – Backlog Good for larger clubs and just to have a backup incase the leader cannot join
• Remove subgroup text descriptions – Backlog In some cases this is good, and in some it is quite annoying
• Creating recurring events – Backlog Very helpful so you don’t have to create a weekly ride over and over again every week
• Integration with Zwift Power for club created events – Discovery Very helpful for racing, I believe there is a way to do this right now, just not easily…
• Changing ride leader and sweeper at any time, even live during an event – Discovery Zwift doesn’t have this yet for public events, so this one will likely take awhile
• Ability to edit subgroup start times – Discovery Helpful for chase races, and mass start races
• Ability to hide an event from club events feed – Discovery Not sure why you would want to do that, but ok…
• Ability to delete a club event – Done

Club Event Modes

• Group workout mode – Backlog Group workouts are something that Zwifters requested for the meetup feature, but never got.
• Using workout library in game to create group workouts – Discovery
• Club training plans – Discovery Wouldn’t expect this anytime soon
• Custom club group workouts – Discovery
• Create club races – Discovery You can kind of already do this with the clubs feature, but a lot more can be done with it(including Zwift Power integration)
• Team time trial event mode – Discovery Wouldn’t expect this anytime soon, since they don’t even have this for current events
• Chat with club members after event end in game – Discovery

Club Identity

• Custom Club logo – Backlog Good for serious clubs or brands who have a Zwift club
• Using special characters in club name – Backlog Small change, but that would allow more fun and creative names
• Club representation in game – Discovery A welcome feature, likely would be similar to what Strava does with showing the club(s) you are part of
• Club kits – Discovery This would be very helpful for club group rides to help get your club better known, and give your club more personality

Bugs

• Event page crashes (Android) – Discovery
• Pre-set club images are not always loading – Discovery
• Event attendee list showing duplicates (iOS & Android) – Backlog
• Changing routes doesn’t update in subgroup text description of the event (Android) – Backlog
• All worlds are listed as Watopia for run templates (Android) – Backlog
• App crashes during event creation (Android) – Done
• U16 being able to join (iOS & Android) – Done Very sad, but I understand why Zwift did this, and I am looking forward to changes to this one Zwift gets this figured out
• Reports of users not getting the “join event” button (Zwift Game) – Done
• Changing pace groups cause routes to change randomly (iOS & Android) – Done
