Initiating another session about action on pitch (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rebooting

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'initiating another session about action' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'on pitch' is the wordplay.
'on' becomes 're' ('on' can be mean 'with reference to').
'pitch' becomes 'booting' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
're'+'booting'='REBOOTING'

Can you help me to learn more?
