Invitations from Clubs

Invitations from clubs that have asked you to join appear on your My clubs page (/me/clubs), alongside your active memberships and any applications you have in flight. Every invitation a club sends to your email address shows up here once you're signed in, even ones sent before you had an account. Invitations a club has sent for a child you guardian appear here too.

Getting There

Navigate to Clubs from your /me sidebar. Pending invitations appear at the very top of the grid because they need your response, the rest of the grid (applications, active memberships) follows.

How Invitations Appear

Each pending invitation is a card with an amber Invitation pill in the corner. The card shows:

• The club name and identity colours
• A For [child name] subtitle if the invitation is for a junior you guardian
• The membership type offered (or "Visit invitation")
• The expiry date
• A Respond button that takes you to the accept/decline screen
• An About club link if you want to read more about the club first

Invitations that have been responded to, expired, or withdrawn by the club no longer take a slot at the top, they fold into the collapsible Past section.

Status Meanings

| Status | Where it appears | What it means |

|--------|------------------|----------------|

| Pending | Top of /me/clubs with an Invitation pill | Waiting for your response |

| Accepted | Becomes an active membership card | You've accepted, you're now a member |

| Invitation declined | Past section | You've declined the invitation |

| Invitation expired | Past section | The invitation wasn't responded to within 30 days |

| Invitation withdrawn by club | Past section | The club withdrew the invitation before you responded |

Responding to an Invitation

1. Click Respond on a pending invitation card.
2. You'll be taken to the invitation page (/invitations/[token]).
3. Choose Accept or Decline.

Once you accept, you're a member of the club. The card on /me/clubs immediately switches to the active-membership variant, and you can switch into the new club from the club switcher in the header.

Tip: Pending invitations expire 30 days after they were sent. If yours has expired, contact the club and ask them to send a fresh one.

Profile-Completion Gate When Accepting

If you accept an invitation and your profile is missing essential details, the platform will pause and ask for them before completing the membership. This usually happens when an invitation is your first interaction with the platform, there isn't a profile yet to attach the new membership to.

You'll be taken to a short Complete your profile flow at /me/onboarding which asks for:

• Identity: your first name, last name, and date of birth.
• Emergency contact: name, phone number, and relationship.
• Junior step (only for guardian-of-junior invitations): the child's basic profile, with their date of birth pre-filled from the invitation.

Once you've completed the steps, the platform finishes accepting the invitation automatically and lands you in the new club.

You only see this flow once. After your profile is complete, accepting future invitations is a single tap.

Junior Invitations

If a club has invited a junior you look after, the invitation is addressed to your email (the guardian's). The card displays a small For [junior name] chip so you can tell which junior it's for at a glance, useful if you guardian more than one player. Accepting on behalf of a junior requires that junior to already be linked to you, see Managing Your Juniors, and may take you through the junior step of the onboarding flow described above.

Where Do These Come From?

Clubs send invitations from their admin pages, see Sending Invitations (committee article). Invitations are also created automatically when a committee member sends an invite based on your application from the public apply form.
