So I kicked the ball around by myself, in front of them. Once they saw the ball "bounce" across their newly laid sod, I seized the teaching moment. I rubbed my shaved face and said "smooth for soccer", then rubbed my chin whiskers and said "no good for soccer" - and pointed to sod shaking my head. They all looked at me rather odd (imagine that), but their workmanship improved a little bit. I say it was all my Spanish Hand Talking...we'll see when I'm back out on Wednesday whether the other 2 fields get rejected....
