Got my first school sports contract this week, and will be in need of a full size backdrop for teams. Just need one, would prefer something that is durable enough for a stuffbag. Suggestions are appreciated.

Get up high, and shoot on the gym floor (if you have access) and use the floor as the background. Closed bleachers is another idea to use as a background. Dave Hoffmann

Shooting down onto the court can be a good shot. |Ben Johnson Photography

Based on the budget, the photoshop route isn't feasible unless I'm shooting green screen. I wonder if I could take a 10' x 24' and go sideways, using the gym as the floor. This space for rent.

It gets crumpled into a ball and stuffed into a large duffel bag for transport and storage. (For the attached shot, I had about 4 ft to spare left-to-right) Nick, this is perfect. It's a little pricey for me starting out, but its nice to know that its a good value. This space for rent.
