STRIDER Expands StriderPlus System to Support SafeSport Compliance Across All Sporting Disciplines, Enhancing Participant Safety at Sporting Events 
New Digital Waiver System Streamlines Participant Registration and Ensures Compliance with Governing Body Policies, Including SafeSport, for Equestrian & Youth Sports

Washington, DC – December 18, 2024 – STRIDER, a leader in digital solutions for equestrian sports, today announced the expansion of its StriderPlus digital waiver system to support governing bodies, membership associations, and sports organizations across all disciplines, including those under SafeSport jurisdiction.

This move extends StriderPlus’s proven ability to collect legally binding participant signatures while ensuring full compliance with both governing body policies and federal regulations, including supporting SafeSport’s requirements for safeguarding youth athletes.

StriderPlus Transforms Digital Waiver Collection

StriderPlus has revolutionized the way digital waivers are collected in equestrian sports, being used by show management to support competitions sanctioned by the United States Equestrian Federation. 

Now, the system is available to all sports organizations, offering a seamless, stand-alone solution that integrates easily with any existing entry platform—whether digital or manual. This expansion makes it easier for sports organizations to meet the growing demands for compliance and safety in high-volume, youth-oriented events.

A Cost-Effective Solution for Governing Bodies

“As governing bodies and sports organizations move away from outdated, cumbersome registration systems that can’t handle file uploads, verify signer identities, or collect legally binding signatures, StriderPlus offers a unified, cost-effective solution to ensure participant safety and regulatory compliance,” said Tara Swersie, CEO of STRIDER.

“Our system seamlessly integrates with any existing platform—whether digital or manual—to simplify waiver collection, reduce labor costs, and enable event organizers to focus on what matters most- delivering safe, well-managed competitions. ”

Streamlining Operations & Compliance

StriderPlus simplifies the collection of electronic signatures for all participants—competitors, coaches trainers, owners, volunteers, officials, and spectators—ensuring adherence to  governing body regulations and other policies such as SafeSport. As a standalone system, it works effortlessly with any existing registration processes that cannot securely verify signers or capture legally binding signatures, helping to streamline operations and mitigate risk.

Scalable Innovation and Data Security: Driving Growth in Sports Technology

Building on the success of its popular StriderPay payment processing service, launched in 2023 in collaboration with global payments provider PayPal, STRIDER continues to lead innovation in sports technology.  As a PayPal Global Partner, STRIDER revolutionized payment processing by enabling instant, secure transactions through Venmo, PayPal, and credit/debit cards, ensuring immediate fund delivery to venues and streamlining operations for both show management and competitors.

With the 2024 expansion of StriderPlus, STRIDER is now enhancing participant safety and compliance across multiple sports. The secure digital waiver system utilizes top-tier encryption to protect sensitive data and ensure privacy law compliance.
