accounted for.

Pitch helps grassroots coaches and Children's Officers track playing time, training load and wellbeing — so the kids who'd usually slip through the gaps don't.

01 The three things Pitch tracks

Less paperwork. More children seen.

Tap a face after the match. The chart updates. The Children's Officer sees the trend before it becomes a problem.

01 / Welfare Pillar

Playing-time equity

See at a glance which players are getting the minutes — and which ones are quietly drifting toward the bench.

mean 64'
  • Four-week trend alerts on minutes
  • Squad mean line, never just totals
  • Drop-out risk surfaced before it happens
02 / Load Pillar

Training load that makes sense

Session RPE and acute-to-chronic workload ratio, written in coach English. No sports-science degree required.

1.3 0.8
  • ACWR with the 0.8–1.3 sweet-spot band
  • RPE captured with a tap, not a form
  • Plain-English alerts, never red-flag noise
03 / Safeguarding Pillar

Audit-ready, by default

Children's Officer dashboard with season welfare reports, Garda vetting status and an evidence trail.

02 One signal, two surfaces

What the coach taps. What the Children's Officer sees.

Pitch's promise is in the join: a single tap on a wet sideline becomes a quiet, traceable signal in the welfare dashboard four days later. No re-keying. No spreadsheets. No cold escalations.

A Children's Officer's view
"The coach has known for a while that Aidan was tired. Pitch made it easy to write that down — and easier still for me to do something about it."

03 Built for the realities of grassroots

Volunteer coaches. Two evenings a week. Wet sidelines.

Pitch is designed for the coach who's running U14s on a Tuesday, holding a clipboard, with a torch on. It works offline, takes seconds to log a match and never asks you to be a statistician.
