The Kickoff of Kickoff

I am the head coach of a team of ants swarming around a piece of fallen candy, aka soccer-playing five-year-olds. We had our first game of the season this morning. While the winds whipping over the fields were strong enough to literally knock our players’ socks and shinguards off, those of us who stuck around were treated to play that was, while far from the knock-your-socks-off level, a joy to behold nonetheless, simply to see joy wash over the players’ faces throughout the course of the game and afterward.
