Can I choose who to invite for a match or training?
Can I choose who to invite for a match or training in Mingle Sport?
Yes. You can pick which roles (players, guest players, staff, parents) are invited by default per event type, and override those defaults for a specific event when needed.
ℹ️ Available for Team Admins and team members with Scheduling rights.
Change the default invites for matches, training, and team events
Open Team Settings in the Mingle Sport app or on Homebase.
Select RSVP Preferences.
Under Default Invitations, open the section for Matches, Training, or Team Events.
Toggle each role on or off: Players, Guest Players, Staff, Parents & Guardians.
Tap Save.
Set custom invites for one event
When you're creating a match, training, or team event, you can override the team defaults and pick exactly who's invited for that event only.
What are the default invite settings per event type?
Out of the box, the team defaults look like this:
| Event type | Players | Guest Players | Staff | Parents |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Match | ✓ | – | ✓ | ✓ |
Training | ✓ | – | ✓ | – |
Team Event | – | – | – | – |
Change any of these from Team Settings → RSVP Preferences to match how your team usually works — e.g. toggle guest players on for training.
Can I override the default invites for one specific event?
Yes. When creating a match, training, or team event, pick custom invites for that event only. This doesn't change your team defaults — just that single event.
What happens to people I don't invite to a match or training?
Non-invited team members:
For matches — still see the match in their schedule, but can't RSVP.
For training and team events — don't see the event in their Schedule at all.
Don't receive any RSVP reminders, updates, or deletion notifications.
Don't count towards attendance statistics.
Can't be added to the line-up.
Parents and child players: if you don't invite parents but their child is invited, parents still see the event so they can RSVP on behalf of their child. They just can't RSVP for themselves, and they still get parent reminder notifications if that setting is enabled.
What happens when I add a new team member — are they invited to existing events?
New team members are automatically added to all future events that use the team defaults, based on their role. They are not added to events that already have custom invites applied — if you want them in those, add them manually.
How is attendance calculated when I use custom invites?
Attendance is calculated only from invited members:
Attending Invited Players ÷ Total Invited Players = Attendance Rate
Non-invited members don't affect attendance stats either way. So if you custom-invite a smaller squad for a cup match, attendance reflects just that squad.
