How Pitchside AI Works

Learn how Pitchside turns suitable phone-recorded small-sided football footage into supported stats, highlights and player records during private beta.

Pitchside analyses suitable phone-recorded football footage, tests event detection and player assignment, then returns supported stats, highlights and records for review.

Record the match

Pitchside starts with suitable phone-recorded footage from small-sided football. A stable landscape recording, clear view of the important playing area and safe mounting position all improve the chance of useful output.

Upload for processing

After recording, footage is uploaded for analysis. Current upload and processing can take up to 45 minutes during testing, depending on file size, connection quality and queue conditions.

Event detection in private beta

The beta is testing supported events around goals, assists, saves, passes and tackles. Output can vary by footage quality, camera position, lighting, obstruction and kit similarity.

Reviewable output

Pitchside output should be reviewed before it is treated as final. Detected moments, player assignments and match records may need correction or reporting during beta.

What Pitchside does not claim

Pitchside does not currently claim perfect accuracy, instant processing, public app-store availability or GPS-style physical load metrics. Check Product Status for the latest confirmed capabilities.
