How to become a mascot?

The primary qualifications for this position are a high school diploma or GED certificate, though college graduates are often preferred. High school mascots may be hired with no additional requirements, but those for professional teams are expected to have several years of experience as a mascot. Other skills and responsibilities include being able to drive to and from an office, availability for special appearances, an understanding of choreography, the ability to dance, athletic ability, and strong nonverbal communication skills. A history in acting or the performing arts is especially valuable for this job. Being a mascot is a physically demanding job, so you must possess some physical strength and stamina.
