Lenard has watched his

older brother Ted play and

has always asked his Mum

“When can I play?”

His Mum would reply,

“When you are 5 years old

Lenard you can play.”

At registration his Mum had to

fill out forms with all his

information such as Name,

Address, Phone Number, Date

of Birth and Medical

Information.

But there was one

thing worrying

Lenard’s Mum, she

forgot her money to

pay for the soccer

fees so she had to go

back home and grab

the money.

When Lenard’s Mum

got home she went

and grabbed her

wallet and checked if

she had the money

and she didn’t.

OH NO!

She was puzzled and

Lenard was constantly

nagging her, when

suddenly...... ? ? ?

She saw money on the floor.

She picked it up and more

money fell on the floor. Then

Lenard said, “Mum it’s raining

money out of your pocket. Then

Lenard’s Mum remembered that

she had put the money in her

pocket! So they went back to

the soccer rego and payed the

soccer fees. Lenard was so

excited.

The gear he was given

included, a pair of soccer

shorts, socks and a ball,

but no boots. Lenard asked

his Mum about his boots. ”I

can’t play soccer without

some boots Mum! When do

I get my boots?”

“When we have finished

here with the registration

Lenard we will go to the

shops and find you some

groovy boots!” Lenard was

very excited.

With all forms completed,

rego paid, Lenard and his

Mum headed off to the

shops to get some boots.

First stop was rebel Sport

range of boots they had.

There were all different

brands available and

many different colours.

Lenard’s Mum asked him

what colour he wanted

and his reply was,

“PINK!” ”That’s fancy!”

said his Mum.

PINK!

WOW

The salesperson asked Lenard’s Mum if he could help them

and what were they after? Lenard excitedly said “Pink Soccer

Boots!” The salesperson said “I have just the right pair for you

out the back.” So he measured Lenard’s foot and went out the

back to get a pair of pink, black and white Nike boots.

BOOTS

On his return he opened a box and as soon as Lenard saw the

boots his face beamed with a huge smile. “They are so cool, can

I try them on?”The salesperson fitted the boots onto Lenard and

got him to walk and run in them to make sure they were

comfortable. They were perfect! His Mum asked him if he

wanted these boots and his reply was a huge “YES PLEASE.”

With the rego all paid and a new pair of boots, he was now ready

to play his first game of soccer!
