How to Make a Poster for a Basketball Cheerleader Competition

Throughout the year, cheerleading teams from across the country come together to compete in events on the local, regional and national level. Cheerleading competitions during the winter months will feature teams that support the basketball programs of their local high schools. Advertisements such as posters should be used to inform the community of the cheerleading competition.

      Use the tape to hang the poster board throughout the school and in various places in the community. Ask with local businesses, such as banks and grocery stores, if you can tape a flyer to their window for their patrons to see. Telephone polls near major intersections are also good places to display your cheerleading competition poster.
