Although I still don't understand why small children need a snack break because they are running around for 45 minutes.  [b]They are 6 yera olds.  They could run around for hours happily without being fed.  Pretty sure it's just a way to make helicopter moms feel important.  And the rest of us feel annoyed[/b].[/quote]

Eating, everything is about eating.[/quote]

they say the snacks are to build comraderie, but I find it detracts from it. The kids cluster around the snacks, grab at things, then split. 
 It'd be more natural for the parents just to hang around a little after the game, then the kids would too, and they'd start kicking the ball around or talking[/quote]

We have been so lucky to not be on teams that do snacks.  So grateful for normal parents instead of those over the top ones.  Does anyone remember the Everybody Loves Raymond episode on soccer snacks.  It was hilarious and showed how stupid our generation has become with the coddling. [/quote]
