RSVPs & attendance tracking — Players confirm availability for both matches and training sessions, giving you an accurate headcount before every session.
Absence reasons & travel coordination — Can't make it? Players can explain why, or flag that they need a lift — keeping communication in one place.
How to Schedule a Match or Training Session — 3 Steps
You can create events in the Mingle Sport mobile app or in Homebase — the steps are identical on both platforms.
Go to the Schedule tab and tap + Open the Schedule tab and choose whether you want to create a *Match* or a *Training session*.
Fill in the event details *For a match:* enter your team, the opponent, location, date and kick-off time. *For training:* set the start time and the Meet up time, the duration, and where you're training. Under Where you can also add a Pitch and a Dressing room, so players know exactly where to go. Choose a one-off session or a recurring series — and if it repeats, use Stop repeating to decide when the series ends.
Hit 'Create' — your team is notified instantly As soon as you create the event, every team member receives a push notification and can RSVP straight away.
💡 Tip: Setting up weekly training? Use the recurring series option to create the whole season's training calendar in one go — no need to add sessions one by one. It runs to the end of your season by default, or set Stop repeating to a date of your own.
Got a whole season to add? Import it (Homebase)
On Homebase, you can import your full match schedule from a CSV or Excel file instead of adding matches one by one. Upload your league export or the Mingle template, map the columns, confirm your opponents, and review the matches before they're added — a season in one sitting. Importing is web-only.

If your league publishes a calendar link, connecting it is easier still — the fixtures come in automatically and keep themselves up to date. → How do I connect my league calendar to Mingle Sport?
