How To Decorate School Banners Without Losing Practice Time
As far as I can tell, custom softball banners and posters for use around the campus or in locker rooms takes a lot of practice– to say the least! Generally, for all cheerleaders, practice is essential and time is constrained. Here are a few hints to help you organize your practice time, and still be able to make posters without both of them interfering with your other plans.
- Make them completely during the summer. This year, we are planning on dedicating one hour every Wednesday to unplug all banners and posters used for the previous school year. In the event that we do not complete them on Wednesday, no stress– we do not have a due date! We keep doing it until the end of the summer. By the educational season, we would have done enough so we will have a variety to choose from on game days. When we use them up, we will still have time to make some more, however, we do not need to worry about making such a large number since we spent the summer making tons of them!
- Pick a night to make the banners if your day is too occupied with plans. Set the ideal opportunity for a few hours slot where volunteers from your cheer team can come to help. Odds are, you will get a decent number considering there is no working out or exercise required. It will be like having a paint night with your best friends! It will also be ideal to have music playing in the background to spice up things
- Try to create an after practice banner making team. In the event that the condition of summer is not ideal for you, offer to pay some girls from your cheer team if they stay back after practice and make the banners and posters with you. Target those girls that are always picked up late. Prepare a schedule and a target you want them to meet daily so they can be focused.
- All the work and time you invested in setting up your booster team should pay off now, right? Set them to work! They will want to assist. Give them a few thoughts (from any social media maybe) to work on, and I am certain you’ll have some fun, inventive banners and posters subsequently.
- Offer them to the young ladies (or young men). You do not have a sponsor group or better still, you do not like the idea of staying back after practice and the team does not too… never fear! Give the young women the apparatus! Have some decorative (and mindful) pioneers bring homemade publications, brushes, and whatever else their imaginative souls require. Have them take a shot at a couple of banners while they at home, and ensure they return them in back one piece!
- Reach out to the Student Council. Perhaps, you are not even into the entire decorating thing… that is not a problem! Give the obligation to the Student Council (in the wake of soliciting them, of course). Our Student Council makes a huge amount of signs to stick around the school. Reach out to them and see if they can help you with the work.
At this point, you most likely have a decent bearing and ideas of the kind of baseball banner you want to make. Get imaginative, make it interesting, and do not be stressed out! Keep in mind: doing this will make both the basketball and football teams happy. I know our young men are so appreciative to see a huge banner when they stroll into the locker rooms! Try to put a smile on their faces!
