: We have a group of younger girls (ages 8 & 9 yrs old) so this works well but it also works for the older girls too. We have a "spirit stick" that is "awarded" to one of the girls at the end of every practice. It's red, white and blue and it's about a foot long. Whoever wins the spirit stick takes it home and brings it back at the next practice. You can be chosen to receive the spirit for several reasons. Trying extra hard, having great spirit or attitude, giving it their all or sometimes one of the girls just didn't have a good day. When you hand them the stick, you should see their eyes light up. It makes them feel special and eventually, they all get a turn.
