clubmates

Others in group

Clubmates are fellow members of the same club—whether a sports team, social organization, or hobby group.

The word emphasizes shared membership and the camaraderie that comes with it: She introduced me to her clubmates from the tennis league.

Like teammates or classmates, it identifies people bound by a common affiliation.
