Effective Tips For A Football Run Through Banner

By Nita McKinney


Before a certain football game begins, especially in various college or high school events, it is usual for a particular team to make a football run through while entering the arena. It is often the responsibility of the cheerleaders and their mascots to hold it on both ends while the whole team is running their way through it. This is often an act that is done to intimidate and surprise the opponents and particularly, it brings along a certain design that is essential for them.

The team name or the mascot is often the drawing that is found in a banner. It will serve as the substance to display the actual team. Each member may sign it to have additional effects in it. It denotes a certain level of pride and in the simplest way, it would proclaim who you are as a team.

A brick wall may also be an excellent idea for it. It will denote a level of strength and conviction that is needed by a member to win the game. Drawing several dozens of bricks may seem so repetitive, but if you put some details to the dimensions of the bricks, it will raise the quality and effectiveness of the imagination of the audience.

A motto or a quote can be used to attribute a specific sport in general. Choose a quote which may indicate your name. Choose the motto that would have an effect on the energy of the crowd. Also, consider drawing all the letters in alternating colors of your team.

Upon making such, determine all the necessary details that would be placed which includes the logo, wordings and graphics. The regular size for it would have three meters width and two meters in height. Thus, you would require a bigger space in making it. Remember that it must have the right width to let several players to go through it at once.

Select a paper which is allowed for paint and markers and can easily tear off so that it would not interfere with the players that are passing through. Attach some poles on both sides of it so that it could be held easily. Wood, PVC and some heavy cardboard tubes are highly suggested and attach it using a heavy masking tape. Many would prefer using PVC because it is light in weight, durable and easily cleaned.

In selecting the paper to be used, it would be better to purchase many. This would be used to perform test run to ensure that it could tear easily. If the paper fails to tear, or the poles will fall in the path as the players run through, there would be bigger possibility of incurring injuries.

Place it across a certain opening where a team would pass. Excellent places will be at the gates or at the entrance of the field where the game would be held. Hold it firmly to prevent the poles from being pulled towards the paper as it tears.

Avoid using a long strips of tape in the width of the football run through banner. It may block the players and they could not go over it. Leave some slit and flaps so that wind can easily blow to it or else, it would only look the same as a parachute as you unroll it in a windy field.
