In this Coaching Clinic filmed exclusively for Coaches' Voice Academy, SK Brann Women head coach Laura Kaminski explains a possession-practice built around false transitions, that she has used with teams in the Women’s Super League (WSL) and WSL 2.

Kaminski already has two WSL promotions to her name – taking Crystal Palace up as head coach in 2024, having been assistant when Tottenham Hotspur were promoted to England’s top flight for the first time in 2019. A young but experienced coach, she has also worked at Arsenal, Charlton Athletic, Brighton, Watford, QPR, Chelsea and with England’s Under-19s.

In this Coaching Clinic, she uses the Coaches’ Voice tactics board to talk through a multi-directional practice that involves a build to then play through pressure and break forward, fast. This means in-possession goalkeepers and back lines work on building play with short, connection passes, finding angles between lines to then break lines into attacking players. For these attackers it works on attacking at speed, with awareness and good movement, while opposition defenders must manage low, emergency, underloaded defensive scenarios.

It is an excellent practice from a highly rated coach, that is adaptable to a range of age groups and contexts, for players aged 14 and above. We hope you enjoy it!
