Are Those Football Cleats?

They have served her well....
Vicki decided to go out for soccer this year.  She hasn’t played in awhile and she kept going back and forth on if she really wanted to play or not since none of her friends are soccer players.  There was also a lot of misunderstanding on when and where soccer tryouts were going to be and how many teams the school would have.  Two days before the so called try outs at Steeds park there is still absolutely NOTHING on the school website so I decide to shoot off an email to the people that were over the sports program for the High School.  I receive an email back the day before tryouts.  It is not a 5 mile run at Steeds park; the try outs will be at the school, after school.  Yay, don’t have to take a day off of work to get Vicki to her try outs!  Another Yay, they have decided to do a JV team!  The odds of Vicki getting on the team have jumped significantly!  Due to previous experiences with this school I am NOT buying soccer cleats to only possibly be worn a few times, Vicki can wear her old cleats which she is fine with.  Vicki goes to try outs each day and does very well for being out of the soccer loop for the last 4 years!  She switched over to just doing Softball and cheerleading our last couple of years on Oki and then football and swim team here.  On the last day of tryouts the coach hollers at her, “Are those football cleats?”   Vicki, “yes…..”  The coach, “well, that explains why you kick the way you do!  Are you going to get soccer cleats?”  Vicki, “if I make the team….”  Coach, “Go buy SOCCER cleats!!!!”  She came home quite happy!!!
