6U practices should look like a giant jungle gym. Basic fundamentals (skating and puck skills) of hockey should be taught in a fun way to engage the athletes and ensure they want to return to the rink. These ages self-regulate their exertion during activity, emphasizing a primary goal of practice to keep the kids active almost at all times.

6U players often progress at different rates, therefore the practice plans will have more variability than the other age groups. The following are examples coaches may use throughout the season:
