That the word "kick" fell on a Saturday and that my son would play his first soccer game after a while was a lucky coincidence. However, the game was cancelled (rain and thunder), so I just took a picture of his almost new shoes.
He stopped playing for a team as he thought high school soccer would be enough last year, but told us a few months ago he would like to go back to play for a team! His old team was very happy to have him back.
