In the first part of his exclusive coaching course for CV Academy, Chelsea FC Academy coach James Simmonds delivers two practices that focus on transitional play.

The first is an individual-specific technical practice designed to develop the technical skills of players – specifically, centre-backs, wide players and forwards – when in transition. The second is a possession game that includes a transition to goal.

The second part of James’ course is also available in our Coaching Courses category. Please also click below to download the accompanying session plan in PDF form.
