Chris Hogg is a former England age-group international who is now the Newcastle United Under-23 lead coach. In this session filmed exclusively for CV Academy, he takes his players through a series of four practices aimed at developing the team’s defensive transitions when losing possession in build-up play.

The course is made up of a possession/transition practice, two simultaneous and semi-opposed patterns of play, a competitive phase-of-play practice and, finally, a 10v10 game. We hope you find it useful!
