Question Number: 25583Law 7 - Match Duration 10/10/2011RE: Rec Under 7 Cecelia of San Jose, CA USA asks...How long do the quarters usually tend to be for Girls U6's? Answer provided by Referee Gary Voshol There is no 'usual'. Each league is free to make up their own times.
United States Youth Soccer recommends quarters of 6 to 8 minutes. However in the addendum to the U6 rules they also say, 'Clubs may make the quarters shorter in duration if necessary. Quarters are played in the U6 age group to accommodate the attention span and physical limitations of the children.'
Some leagues also play halves, not quarters, up to 20 minutes in duration.

This is usually listed in the competition rules set by the organisers. The organisers should take advice from 'best practise' set down by a governing body
