Some Tips For A Football Run Through Banner

By Nita McKinney


Before a particular football game starts, most especially in different high school and college events, it is normal for a team to pass a football run through upon going into the field. The cheerleaders and mascots are often assigned and are responsible to hold both ends while the entire team is running over it. This is usually done to surprise and intimidate their opponents and most especially, it will represent a certain symbol that is crucial for all of them.

The name of the team or their mascot is usually drawn into a banner. It would serve as a substance to show the real team. Every member could sign it to put some additional effects. It will usually designate a particular level of pride and in an easy way, it will declare who you are as a whole team.

An interesting and brilliant idea to be drawn in it would be the brick walls. It would represent a sense of conviction and strength that is crucial for all members to win a certain game. Drawing a couple of blocks may seem so repetitive, but if you put some more details into some dimensions of the block, it will heighten the efficiency and quality of creativity among the crowd.

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.

In making such, consider all the details that will be placed including the logo, graphics and wordings. The standard one is up to three meters wide and two meters high. Therefore, you will need a greater space in order to make it. Always remember that it should have the sufficient width to allow multiple players to pass through it at the same time.

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 picking the paper that you will be using, make sure to buy many as you can. This will be used in conducting a couple of test runs to ensure that it would tear off properly. If the paper will fail to tear, or maybe the poles may fall into the way of the athletes as they run, it might cause some 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.

Long strips of tape must be avoided in making football run through banners. It will only block the athletes from entering over it. Place some flaps and slits so that the wind can blow in it and so that it would not look like a parachute when you start to display it in a windy area.
