Parents on many mini soccer teams like to have a snack time for the players after the game. Often parents take turns providing the snacks. Dartmouth United does not take responsibility for the management of these snack times or the types of food provided. This activity is organized by the team parents, and is on a volunteer basis. Parents are responsible for reporting their children’s allergies and/or food sensitivities to those who provide the snacks. Winter Season FAQs What programs are available in the winter?
