He spent most of his career playing indoor soccer, but also won an outdoor title in 1987 with the San Diego Nomads. Snyder earned five caps with the U.S. national team between 1985 and 1991 as well as another nine with the U.S. National Futsal Team. In 1983, he was a member of the U.S. team at the U-20 World Championship.
Snyder attended Fleetwood Area High School in Fleetwood, Pennsylvania, where he played as a forward on his school's soccer team. During his high school soccer career, which ran from 1980 to 1983, he scored 208 goals and assisted on 117 others. At the time, the 208 goals was a record, which has since been broken..[1] Following graduation from high school, Snyder attended Pennsylvania State University where he played for legendary coach Walter Bahr from 1984 to 1986.
In 1992, Snyder left the Sidekicks and moved east to the Washington Warthogs of the Continental Indoor Soccer League (CISL). He was recognized as the CISL Defender of the Year for the 1996–1997 season. However, the Warthogs and the league folded at the end of that season and Snyder moved to the Baltimore Bays of the USISL. He spent the 1997–1998 indoor USISL season with the Bays, winning the league championship before the team folded. He then moved to the Baltimore Blast of the National Professional Soccer League (NPSL).

In 1983, Snyder was selected for the United States U-20 men's national soccer team which competed at the U-20 World Championship.[2] The U.S. went 1-0-2 and failed to make the second round. On June 15, 1985, the summer before his junior year of college, Snyder earned his first cap in a 5-0 loss to England.[3] He was not called into the national team again until May 5, 1991, when he came on as a substitute for Janusz Michallik in a 1-0 win over Uruguay. He played three more times that year, all as a substitute. His last game with the national team came in a 2-0 win over Romania in Brașov.[4] In addition to his five caps with the outdoor national team, Snyder earned another nine caps, and scored one goal, with the United States national futsal team from 1987 to 1996.
