Getting Started as a Parent
You & Mingle
The team manager has set up Mingle Sport for your child's team and invited you to join. Mingle Sport is the all-in-one app for team scheduling, communication, scorekeeping, and sharing match content.
👋🏻 Welcome to the Team
Join the Team
You can join the team using the 4-digit join code or the invite link your team admin shared with you. When joining, make sure you select the parent role (you can add staff roles as well). You'll be asked to connect to your child from the listed player profiles. Is your child not listed? Don't worry — you can connect later once your child's profile is added.

Manage Your Child's Profile
Every player has a player profile — unique to the team, with its own picture, preferred positions and player number. As a parent, you can edit this information. Team Admins can too, and if your child has their own Mingle account, they can manage their own profile as well. A player can have multiple parents and guardians associated.
→ Parent-child profiles
Manage Your Own Profile
You also have your own team profile as a parent. You can set your (nick)name, picture, and role. In your profile settings you'll find preferences for notifications and other personal settings.

→ Scheduling matches and training
RSVP for Your Child
Your team admin may ask you to RSVP for matches and training sessions. You can RSVP for yourself, and for your child. You can confirm attendance or mark your child as absent. You can also add a reason for absence or share transportation needs.
→ RSVP & Attendance
Sync with Your Calendar
All matches, training sessions, and team events can be synced to Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or any calendar app that supports iCal. Once synced, your family calendar stays up to date without having to check the app.
→ Calendar Sync
Notifications
Mingle sends smart notifications: RSVP reminders, match day alerts, schedule changes, and more. You can control which notifications you receive in your profile settings so you only get what matters to you.

⚽️ Match Content
Match days are the most exciting days of the week — whether you're on the sideline or following from home.
Match Content
By default, all team members can add content to matches — a highlight video, a picture from the sideline, you name it. Each match has its own Media Library where all content is collected. Videos can be associated with goals or other important match moments.
→ Match Content
The Match Feed
Every match also has a Match Feed: a timeline of everything that happens. Goals, assists, cards, substitutions — all shown in chronological order. When a Match Reporter is assigned, the feed updates live as the match unfolds. Friends and family can follow along during the match or catch up afterwards.
Want to share the match with people who aren't on the team? Just hit the share button on the feed tab. They can follow along without needing the Mingle Sport app.

Live Mode 🔴
When Live Mode is turned on, you'll get real-time notifications for every key moment: goals, cards, and substitutions. Even when you can't be there in person, you'll feel like you are.
→ Live Mode
Match Article ✨
After a match, Mingle can generate an AI-powered match article: a journalistic-style report based on everything that happened. It's a great way to relive the match and share the story on social media.
Vote for Player of the Match
After each match, team members can vote for different Players of the Match and rate team performance — if your team admin has turned on this feature. Once the voting window closes, the winners are revealed. It's a fun way to celebrate standout performances.
→ Awards & Voting
🏆 Player Stats
Leaderboards
Mingle tracks everything: goals, assists, awards, minutes played, and more. Your Team Admin can turn specific leaderboards on or off, so what's visible depends on the team's setup. As a parent, you can follow your child's stats and see how they stack up. It's a great way to stay involved in their development.
Team Awards
Your team can have Team Awards — monthly celebrations of leaderboard positions, from Topscorer of the Month to MVP of the Month. This is also a setting the Team Admin can turn on or off.
→ Stats & Leaderboards
You're all set! 🎉
That's everything you need to get started. Your team is connected, the schedule is in your calendar, and match day is covered. Now go enjoy the season — and let Mingle keep you in the loop.
