Since 1982, athletic directors from across Massachusetts have supported the Bay State Games by informing their student-athletes and coaches about the athletic and educational opportunities available at Bay State Games.
In appreciation of the support received from high school athletic directors, Bay State Games has created the High School Spirit Challenge. This program provides valuable funds to support Massachusetts high school athletics and thank those schools who support the Bay State Games.
Based on school enrollment, three schools will each be eligible for a $1,000 grant. Within each enrollment size category, the school with the highest number of athletes registered for Bay State Summer Games will receive funds to support their athletic program.
The program commences when Summer Games registration opens in March and concludes when registration closes for the last Bay State Games event in late July. There is no obligation or enrollment required to be part of the program. We ask only that athletic director help promote the Games to their student athletes during the course of the school year. School enrollment status will be tracked based on Bay State Summer Games registration records and schools receiving grants will be informed in August.
