It seems like 6 in one hand, half a dozen in the other. Not sure there is a right or wrong with this. Play whatever is easier to run and keeps games on time. Many of the leagues that are played under "normal rules" that I am exposed to are 6 minute quarters. Then again those are not played in the summer with many local or club type teams playing at the same time. So in that case running clock might be the best. I will say that 20 minutes seems a lot for kids that young. Maybe 18 or 16 would be better. But then again that might not be long enough.
Peace
