I plan on taking a bunch of middle school volleyball pics this fall and would like to put together a few posters for my daughter and her teammates. I'm wondering where the best online resource for sports posters is? Any suggestions for a newbie are appreciated.

Thanks,
Jeff M.

I, personally, have no idea but I'm going to pop this thread over to the Talk about Photography area because there may be some sports shooters there who can help with hints on sports shooting and, hopefully, someone there may mention poster processing, too.

How big do you want them and how much are you willing to pay?

El-Col labs (external link) charges $9.95 for a 20x30 (to compare, Walgreens/Snapfish charge $19.95).

FullSizePosters (external link) charges $19.99 for a 24x36 but they only charge you $4.29 for the first one for new customers only.

I've tried both and both are good to me, but I have very limited experience in knowing how they should look and have no basis of saying whether they are great compared to other services.

Also, this probably more belongs in the RAW/printing forum.

Guess I should clarify a little bit. When I say "sports posters" what I'm talking about are the posters that feature both team and individual photos with snazzy graphics. Is there a service or software that you can purchase so that all you do is plug in your photos and you have a poster?

Thanks for the help,
Jeff M.
