In the second part of his exclusive coaching course for CV Academy, Chelsea FC Academy coach James Simmonds delivers two more practices that focus on developing players’ abilities in both offensive and defensive transition.

The first practice is a transition wave game made up of 4v2 attacks that become 4v4 with recovering defenders. The second is a possession/transition game in which one team attempts to maintain possession while a pressing group aims to steal the ball and launch a counter-attack.

The first part of James’ course is also available in our Coaching Courses category. Please click the Resources tab to access a downloadable PDF of the full session.
