Good return The parent who sees to it that his child is provided with real soccer boots does something for the health and confidence of the child and also for the quality of the game at little cost. He has enough sense not to give the ball the full-blooded kick that it may need to propel it to where it should be and to refrain from a full-bodied tackle where his running shoes may meet the boot- shod feet of his opponent.
