Our story

Where every game starts

The pitchside is where the sub warms up, the coach shouts tips and the kit bag gets unpacked. Every player starts there.

Started by a player.
Built for players.

Pitchside was started in Canterbury, New Zealand, by a young footballer who noticed something: a goalkeeper and a striker don't need the same gear, and a junior shouldn't have to settle for junk.

So we sort everything by position and by level. Tell us where you play and how seriously you play, and we'll show you the right stuff.

We work with makers around the world who send gear straight to your door. That means more choice and fair prices.

Right gear, right position

Every product is matched to keepers, defenders, midfielders or attackers.

Four levels, one standard

Juniors to pros. Safe, comfy and tested at every price.

Real photos

We show photos of the actual items we send, not fancy pictures of something else.

Give back

Every order sends a ball to a grassroots club.
