How to Set Up Your Team in Mingle Sport
Getting Your Team Ready
Setting up your football team in Mingle Sport is straightforward and takes just a few minutes. This guide will walk you through each step to ensure your team is fully configured and ready for action. Whether you're managing a competitive league team or an amateur club, these steps will help you establish a strong foundation.
Step 1: Create Your Team
There are several ways to create your team in Mingle Sport:
Leagues and Clubs
If your team is part of an official league or club structure, you can create your team within that framework. This allows you to maintain organizational hierarchy and keeps all teams in your league synchronized.
Create Any Team
You can also create a team independently without being part of a league. This option is perfect if you're organizing a standalone team, informal group, or want to manage your team outside of league structures.
Step 2: Set Up Your Foundation
Before inviting members, establish the core foundation of your team:
Fill in All Player Names: Add every player on your roster with their names, positions, and any relevant details
Schedule Your Matches: Create entries for all upcoming matches so your community knows when you're playing
Add Practice Sessions: Include regular practice times so team members can stay coordinated
Set Match Details: For each match, include opponent name, location, date, and time
👥 Step 3: invite team members
In order to join a team, players, parents and other coaches need the Join Code. The Join Code has 4 characters and can be found by pressing the Invite button in the team tab.
The instruction for joiners is simple: (1) download the Mingle Sport app: (2) select 'Join Team' and (3) enter the Join Code.
When team members join the team they are asked to select their team role.
Players can connect to their player profiles in the list or add their own. Read more on how to claim their player profile in this article.
Parents can claim their child's profile. The app will show the parent-child relationship and the parent can indicate attendance for their child. Read more on how parent-child relations work here.
Staff can create their own account and select their team role (e.g. team manager, assistant coach, trainer)
More team management options in our desktop web app
You can also use Homebase to add players and invite them. Go to 'Manage Team'. Here you can find your team link and add members manually. In case you made a mistake, you can remove unclaimed users, edit their name or change roles of team members.
🔐 Step 3.5: set team permissions
By default, all team members can schedule events, do scorekeeping, and add content. As a team admin, you can customize these permissions to better organize your team.
The 3 Key Permissions:
📅 Scheduling
Create, edit, and remove matches and training sessions
Edit training attendance when players don't RSVP correctly
Manage custom team events
⚽ Scorekeeping
Create and edit match lineups
Track goals, assists, and match statistics
Use the match timer and add substitutions/cards
*Note: Scorekeeping permission automatically includes Content permission*
📸 Content
Add photos and videos to matches
Start live blogs to share with followers
Create match media and team updates
How to Change Permissions:
Mobile App:
Go to Team → Team Settings
Select "Manage Members"
Choose a team member
Toggle permissions on/off for Scheduling, Scorekeeping, and Content
Save your changes
Homebase (Desktop):
Navigate to "Manage Team"
Find the member in your team list
Use permission toggles for each member
Apply changes
📱 Step 4: invite followers
Followers can see match scores and content. They can't RSVP, vote or see training practices. If you create a liveblog, followers receive live push notifications of key match moments. They can cheer and comment to updates shared. This is a great way to keep friends and family up to date.
In order to make sure our users have control over their privacy, followers need to send a follow request to a team member. Once that is accepted followers can see match content.
In order to invite followers you go to your profile section and press 'Share profile'. Friends and family can also just download the app and search for the name of the player or other team member to send a follow request.
At this moment you can only follow players from a team. In the near future it will also be possible to follow teams.
