Respond to an event invite

Accept or decline an event invite, for yourself or your child, and what to do when you can't.

When your coach or club admin creates an event and invites you, you get a push notification and the event appears in your calendar with Accept and Decline buttons.

Respond from the notification

  1. Tap the push notification ("New event invite").

  2. The event opens. Tap Accept or Decline.

Respond from the calendar

  1. Open your Calendar.

  2. Tap the event.

  3. Tap Accept or Decline.

Add a comment with your response

When you accept or decline, tap the same response button again to add a short comment (e.g., "I'll be 10 minutes late" or "Bringing Sam after"). The comment is visible to coaches and admins in the event's participant list, so they can plan accordingly. You can edit or remove the comment any time before the RSVP deadline.

Recurring events: respond to one or all

For recurring events (events that repeat weekly, monthly, etc.) tapping Accept or Decline gives you two choices:

  • Accept occasion / Decline occasion — applies to just this date.

  • Accept series / Decline series — applies to every upcoming occurrence in the series.

Pick the second option for recurring conflicts (e.g., "I can't make practice on Wednesdays for the rest of the season"). You can still change your response for individual dates afterwards. If the coach has invites scheduled to go out before each occurrence instead of all at once, responding to the whole series isn't offered. Respond occasion by occasion instead.

If you're a parent

Parents respond from their own account on behalf of each linked child. Open the group switcher, pick the child under their name, open the event, and tap Accept or Decline for that child. If you have multiple children invited, switch and respond for each one separately.

Change your response

  1. Open the event from your Calendar.

  2. Tap the existing response and choose the new one. The change saves immediately.

You can change your response any time until the RSVP deadline (or until the event starts, if no deadline is set).

What to do if you can't respond

If you can't accept or decline an event in your calendar, one of the following is true:

  • The RSVP deadline has passed. You'll see an orange notice that reads "RSVP date has passed". Once the deadline is past, responses are locked. Contact the coach if you need to be added late or removed.

  • The event has already started or ended. Past events are read-only.

  • The event is full. The event has a participant limit and every spot is taken. It shows Event is full: "This event is now full and you cannot attend it." Accept is greyed out, but you can still decline. For a recurring event, you can't accept the whole series if even one date is full. Ask the coach if they can raise the limit or add you anyway.

  • You haven't been invited. Some events are visible in the calendar without inviting everyone (e.g., a club-wide tournament you can attend as a spectator). Contact the organizer if you think this is a mistake.

  • Invites haven't been sent yet. For recurring events, the coach can schedule invites to go out a set number of days before each occurrence. Until invites are sent, the Accept / Decline buttons are hidden.

What happens after the event

If you accepted, you're automatically marked Attended when the event ends, unless the coach updates your attendance manually. If you declined, you stay declined. Either way, your response history shows up in attendance reports for the team.

Notifications about changes

If the coach changes the event's location, date, or time, you get a push notification with the updated details. The event automatically updates in your calendar, and your response carries over unchanged.
