Our Spirit Award is one of the most exciting honors a Bay Shore Youth cheerleader can receive! Inspired by the legacy of Lawrence Herkimer, the founder of modern cheerleading, this award celebrates athletes who truly shine in leadership, positivity, teamwork, and heart.

​

Each cheerleader who earns this special recognition is presented with their very own Spirit Stick. A symbol of the incredible energy, encouragement, and team spirit they bring to the squad every single day!
