SportsWare and ATS have documented athletic training rooms for decades, and plenty of Athletic Trainers know them inside out. They're documentation-first systems. Strata was built in 2026 to make the documentation the starting point, not the whole product.
Deep, established injury documentation, insurance and claims tracking, and years of trust in the profession. Programs that live in them know exactly what they do.
They record the athletic training room. Strata records the athlete: the same injury entry your staff writes also updates the coach's availability view, the weight-room program, and the wellness picture, because it's one platform, not an archive.

| Coach-safe availability views (status without clinical detail) | ✓ | Varies by setup |
| Strength programming, rack cards, testing days | ✓ | ✗ |
| Daily wellness & fatigue flags | ✓ | ✗ |

Comparison reflects general, publicly available positioning; feature sets and pricing vary by plan and change over time. Strata is not affiliated with CSMi (SportsWare) or Keffer Development (ATS). Where they're strong, we say so.
If your only requirement is a filing cabinet the profession trusts, the incumbents qualify. If you want the record to work for you, flag the run-down kid, warn the weight room, print the board report, put it next to a platform built this decade and compare side by side. That's the demo.
