How to Be an Ospreys Rugby Mascot
The Ospreys rugby team is based in the Neath and Swansea areas of Wales. Duties of the mascot, Ozzie, include leading the team out of the tunnel and onto the pitch at the start of a game. This honor is usually open only to young children, who are selected by members of the coaching staff. Becoming a mascot, therefore, will require you to gain the attention of the team.

These two-day camps are held in Bridgend and Llandarcy. At the end of camp, a child is selected to be a mascot for the Ospreys for an upcoming game. The criteria for selection are behavior and team spirit.
