I have been a member of Mascot Physie since I was 12 years old. Tuesday nights were always the highlight of my week- even now! I have loved being a part of physie and, most importantly, a part of Mascot Club, the most supportive, helpful, encouraging, fun and friendly club ever! It is like one big family! Over the years, I have learned not only to perfect my physie but also many skills I use in all areas of my life. It excites me that I can now share my love and passion for physie with my daughter as she embarks on her own physie journey at Mascot Club!
