How do team member profiles work in Mingle Sport?
Every member of a team has a team profile — the record that shows them in that team's line-ups, members list, and team view. If they're part of multiple teams, each team has its own team profile, independent from the others.
A player profile is a team profile with extra features: a player number, preferred positions, biomedical data, stats, and the ability to be put into line-ups. Staff and team support have team profiles too, but only players get the player-specific fields.
A player profile can have an owner — the Mingle Sport account of the person who *is* this player — but it doesn't have to. An admin can create a player profile long before the player themselves signs up, and the player can claim it later. See How do I claim my player profile?.
A player profile can also be connected to one or more parents. Parents can update the child's profile, RSVP on their behalf, and receive reminder notifications. See How do parent-child relationships work in Mingle Sport?.
How is a team profile created?
Team profiles come into existence in two ways:
When someone joins a team. If they don't claim an existing player profile during the join flow, a new team profile is created for them.
When an admin adds a player by name. Team admins can add player profiles without a Mingle Sport account attached — the profile sits in the team and waits to be claimed.
See How do I add players to my team? for the add flows.
Who can edit a player profile?
Three kinds of people can edit a player profile:
Team admins can edit any profile in the team.
The player, once they've claimed the profile as owner, can edit their own.
Parents connected to the profile can edit their child's.
For what's editable and how, see How do I edit a player's profile?.
What if a player is listed twice in my team?
Duplicates usually happen when a player joined the team without claiming their existing profile — so the app created a fresh one for them, but the original profile (with all its stats and media) is still there.
The cleanest fix is to keep the profile with stats/media and remove the empty duplicate:
The player leaves the team (see How do I leave a team?).
A team admin removes the empty duplicate profile from Team > Members.
The player rejoins with the team code and claims their original profile this time.
If the empty duplicate is the one the player *already claimed*, an admin can first unlink their account — see What if I claimed the wrong player profile? for the Homebase steps.
If you get stuck or the situation is more complex (for example, the duplicate has stats and media you don't want to lose), contact Mingle Sport support and we'll help you sort it out.
