Their duties typically include scheduling appearances, training performers, maintaining mascot costumes, and ensuring the mascot positively represents the organization. They also handle logistics for events, manage public relations, and sometimes participate in the creative development of mascot routines and promotions. Mascot Coordinators play a crucial role in engaging fans and enhancing the overall entertainment experience.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a mascot coordinator, and why are they important?

Familiarity with event management software, scheduling tools, and safety protocols for costume performers is typically required. Strong organizational skills, creativity, and excellent communication help you coordinate appearances and engage diverse audiences. These skills ensure seamless mascot performances, enhance fan experiences, and maintain the organization's professional image.

Mascot Coordinators often manage scheduling conflicts, last-minute changes, and ensuring the health and safety of performers during events. Balancing multiple appearances and coordinating with event organizers, marketing teams, and costume maintenance staff can be demanding.

Building a reliable roster of performers and having contingency plans in place can also help ensure smooth operations.

Job Description:
Join the BAMA Mascot Team and help bring school spirit, energy, and fun to North Central University! Mascot team members serve as performers and handlers for BAMA at athletic games, campus events, and other approved appearances. Team members help create memorable experiences for students, fans, families, and guests while representing NCU in a fun, positive, and professional way.
No previous mascot experience is required. Training is provided.
Responsibilities include but are not limited to:
  • Perform as BAMA or serve as a mascot handler at athletic games, campus events, and other approved appearances.
  • Bring energy, school spirit, and positive interaction to students, fans, families, and guests.
  • Work closely with other mascot team members to support safe and successful performances.
  • Attend required training, practices, meetings, and assigned appearances.
  • Follow mascot safety, confidentiality, costume-care, and performance expectations.
  • Help care for BAMA and mascot equipment before and after appearances.
  • Represent North Central University in a positive and professional manner.

Required Qualifications/Skills:
  • Currently enrolled NCU student with a minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA.
    • First-year students must have successfully completed at least one semester at NCU with a 3.0 GPA. Transfer students may apply if they have completed at least one semester at another college or university and enter NCU with a 3.0 GPA.
  • Dependable, positive, energetic, and able to work well as part of a team.
  • Comfortable interacting with students, fans, children, families, and guests.
  • Able to maintain confidentiality regarding mascot performers and assignments.
  • Willing to work evenings, weekends, athletic games, and occasional special events.
  • Performer candidates should generally be approximately 5'8"-6'0". Final performer eligibility will be determined through costume fitting and evaluation.
  • Performing as BAMA is physically demanding. The costume is hot, heavy, limits visibility and movement, and can significantly increase fatigue. Performers must be able to remain physically active in the full costume for approximately 25-35 minutes, including walking, dancing, navigating stairs and bleachers, and interacting with crowds.
  • Able and willing to follow required safety practices, wear required performance base layers and cooling equipment, take appropriate recovery breaks, and communicate immediately if experiencing overheating, dizziness, unusual fatigue, or other concerns.
  • No previous mascot or performance experience required; training will be provided.

Additional Comments:
BAMA Mascot Team members will be selected through an interview and evaluation process. Candidates being considered for performer duties will complete a costume fitting and short performance/mobility evaluation before final performer selections are made. Proper costume fit and the ability to safely move and perform in BAMA will determine final performer eligibility.
Mascot performer identities and performance assignments are confidential, and team members are expected to maintain that confidentiality throughout their employment.
This is a developing mascot program, and team members will have the opportunity to help build BAMA's personality, traditions, signature moves, and game-day experience while having a lot of fun representing NCU!
Hiring Timeline:
Applications will be reviewed as received. Selected applicants will be contacted for an interview, with finalists invited to complete a mascot fitting and performance evaluation.
Hours/Week: Varies based on athletic and event schedules; approximately 2-6 hours per week during active periods.
Time of Hours: Primarily evenings and weekends, with occasional daytime campus events, practices, and training.
Number of Positions Available: 5
