Club Reports
Payment reliability, coaching quality, living conditions, treatment of imports — published without the author's name.
Clubs and agents walk into a negotiation with more market information than the player across the table.
Agent Ratings
Communication, deal quality, support through the season — rated by the clients who signed with them.
League Guides
Taxes, cost of living, season length, visa process — country by country, written by players who have been there.

Three minutes to give back. A career of benefit.
Share your experience
Anonymously rate your club, your agent, and report your salary. Takes about three minutes.

Decide with confidence
Walk into talks knowing the market rate and the club's reputation.
How CourtSide protects you
The whole product depends on players being able to be honest without a cost. Here is what that means in practice.
Your name is never attached
Reports are published without it. Clubs and agents read what was written, never who wrote it.
Salaries are only ever aggregated
No individual salary is shown anywhere. A benchmark appears once at least 5 players have reported for the same group.
A club can answer, not identify
Clubs may publish a response to a report. They never learn which player it came from.
You can take it back
Your own reports stay yours. Remove one from your dashboard and it leaves the public page.
The Founder
Players deserve to know what they're signing into.
Kevin Bright, founder
Former professional basketball player. I signed contracts in Germany without knowing what other players earned, how clubs actually treated imports, or which agents delivered on their promises. After my career I completed a Master's in Computer Science — and realized that data can fix what word of mouth never could. CourtSide exists so the next generation of players never has to sign blind.

Your name is never attached to a report — clubs and agents read what was written, not who wrote it. Salaries are only ever shown as aggregates: a benchmark needs at least 5 players in the same group before any number appears. And your own reports stay yours — remove one and it leaves the public page.
Help build the information every player deserves before signing.
One club review or salary report takes about three minutes and stays anonymous to clubs and agents.
