We only have 13 or so students on our team, so we never tolerated no-work attitudes. It's either you show up to shop with a good attitude or have your parents pick you up. Even just the threat of doing so is a great tool (I know I've come to shop lazy or grumpy several times, and this threat bore near immediate improvement)

It may help to force the students to try every position on the team; that's what we do. It helps people discover things they love that they never would consider doing in the first place. For example, I avoided machining and CAD all I could originally, but now I love the lather, and CAD is growing on me.

If they still show interest in just spirit (Depending on the number left), do what others suggested and say they can't attend regionals or champs. We pulled that threat with work days/work hours and it's an effective tool as well.

Good luck.
