COACHING

On-pitch: Grouped by age and ability, high-intensity daily training sessions with CFC coaches focus on playing as a team in the Chelsea FCW style whilst preparing to play competitive 11-a-side matches later in the week. Players are also challenged on an individual level to improve technically and tactically through a series of pro-style drills, skills challenges and small-sided games.

Off-pitch: Recovery and strength & conditioning sessions including yoga, have been designed to help players manage the workload of training twice a day.   Workshops introduce topics designed to give an insight into what it takes to be a professional player. Subjects include nutrition, match preparation and team tactics. Other debates encourage players to build confidence in working together and communicating effectively.
