What type of Physie competitions are there and do I have to compete?

There are two types of BJP Physie competitions. The first is team-­based with 8 girls or ladies in one team performing routines together and the second is individual competition, where girls pursue their individual goals. There are various competitions throughout the year, with club, interclub, regional, state and finally national competitions. Every year, the National Championships are held at the Quaycentre or Sydney Opera House where girls and women from all over Australia compete for the title of Grand Champion. Competitions are completely optional.  They are however, a great way to build confidence and meet other Physie girls from all over Australia! It’s a wonderful experience designed to encourage girls to become comfortable performing in a safe, positive environment and most girls LOVE the camaraderie and club spirit it builds.
