Highly recommend the back to netball sessions, Yvonne is a fantastic coach. Different levels of experience are welcomed, it's all about the fun and I have met some great new friends! Netball will definitely be a long term hobbie thanks to Yvonne!!!

I hadn’t played netball since school but always loved the game. Yvonne made the back to netball sessions so enjoyable and varied depending on experience level. I met some wonderful ladies in the process and I’m excited to now be playing in a league. Recommend to anyone thinking about it, even if just for fun!

After having not played netball since high school I was quite apprehensive in coming back it. Yvonne made the experience really enjoyable and really comfortable. Absolutely loved it and would recommend it it to anyone of any experience level. 😀

I play in 3 of Yvonne’s leagues at the moment. She does a great job of facilitating and arranging all of the leagues and her teams of umpires are excellent! The training sessions provided are also great to develop skill from complete beginners to more seasoned players! I came back to netball a few years ago and can’t imagine my time without it now!
I started back to netball Jan 2019. The training classes on a Monday at 6pm at the great Sankey neighbourhood Hub is a brilliant way to start netball or get back into it. It’s great having the social element too, far more fun than going to the gym! Im even now part of a netball team which is just the incentive I need to keep active!”

Really enjoyed Yvonne's back to netball sessions - it's been a great way to get back in to the game in a fun relaxed way whilst feeling like I've had a good workout. I'd highly recommend these sessions to others."

After nearly 40 years playing league netball 3 months ago I started playing walking netball at the Orford Jubilee Warrington....it's competitive and gets the adrenaline going but what I really enjoy is the fun, laughter and friendship all helped along by the commitment and encouragement of the trainer Yvonne.

Really enjoy the walking netball sessions at David Lloyds. Good team spirit, plenty of laughs and great instruction from Yvonne.
Great walking netball session today at David Lloyd. We all thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks Yvonne 31/01/19
I have been a coordinator and umpire for the Newton Netball League from the day it stared and it has been a pleasure to see these ladies grow from back to net ballers to players with some great shooting and defending skills most of the players are from newton but this league has attracted teams from Warrington and Wigan, due to the fact that it is a very competitive league. This is due to Yvonne’s commitment and hard work keeping the league current and efficient .

Really good first walking netball session

Hi Yvonne, thoroughly enjoyed meeting you and am impressed by the way you ran the session and motivated the ladies at the walking netball session at David Lloyd’s Warrington
September 2018
When the country was riding on the wave of the Commonwealth Gold in Netball we felt it was an opportunity too good to miss to get a high quality netball coach into school and Complete Netball Solutions was the only company we would have considered to come into school. After working with Yvonne a few years ago we knew that she provide high quality coaching, catering for a wide range of netball ability within school. Six sessions were planned in to take us up to The St Helens School Games High 5 Netball competition. The sessions were brilliant and really developed the squad both in skill but also tactically. We ended up getting to the semi final; of the competition and took further pride in knowing we were the highest placed girls only team. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the company for any schools out there - we are certainly booking them in again for next year.

I met Yvonne Sampson last year at her Fitness club in Winwick and she spoke to me about Netball as it was some thing I loved at school but never played since. I went along to one of her training nights and there was only a few of us there but over the weeks more girls joined and a few left. After the six/seven weeks Yvonne encouraged us to make a team. Which is what we did. We joined the St Helens/Newton League, registered our selves "The OddBalls" and are now playing our first season.
I've just turned 50 and wish I met yvonne 30 years ago. I absolutely love playing netball again. Met some great friends and we have lots of fun. Yvonne has directed us, taught us and supported us. She really is a gem and I'm so glad I met her last year.

Over two years ago, my mother dragged me along to play a sport I hated playing in school! I was always picked last for teams and shoved into a position I disliked!! Never thought that two years later id be as good as I am now! (don't mean to brag) I was never a shooter until Golborne, and now I'm about to start playing for Warrington full time! My first game is on Wednesday, and I'm beyond excited! Thank you for building up my confidence and my fitness with this amazing club - see you all soon

Penketh Panthers Netball Club recruited Yvonne of Complete Netball Solutions to help grow our infrastructure and free up the existing volunteer to establish the club's committee. We aim to use her expertise to grow our coaching team for the future and to develop our junior teams skills and match play. The children have responded well to the training sessions and are becoming thinking players. Yvonne communicates well with the club to ensure the training sessions target specific areas for development observed in matches. The players are slowly beginning to apply their skills into game situations. Yvonne is reliable and genuinely interested in how the children are getting on and wants to make a difference.

Appleton Netball Club – Complete Netball Solutions has offered a great framework for our Junior Club, Yvonne has provided us with much needed direction, support and guidance to get us to where we are now. Since the involvement of CNS we now have 9 Junior Teams, 2 coaching sessions, 2 Level 1 Coaches with a soon to be 3rd, with a vision of at least 1 of them progressing to their Level 2 award in the near future. Yvonne has supported and mentored the 3 coaches which has allowed the club to expand to 9 Junior Teams. CNS encouraged Appleton NC to become an England Netball Affiliated club which we have over 88 affiliated players, 2 coaches and 1 Safeguarding Officer. With a number of players who have recently signed up to the ‘Pass on your passion’ scheme. Appleton NC is working towards an Under 12’s Team registering into the Cheshire League in Sept 2016 which is recognition of the hard work, enthusiasm and passion from everyone involved. On behalf of Appleton NC – we thank you Yvonne for your Mentoring, Support and involvement (Sally Hewitt & Annette Tyson)
All the ladies involved in Culcheth Netball have had an enjoyable experience since the start. The Tournaments, matches, training nights and coaches have provided support, encouragement and experience that has given us confidence, upliftment and community spirit. We look forward continuing with this fantastic opportunity with a bunch of girls who all attend the sessions for the same reason - we all love netball!

Complete Netball Solutions have helped our two new back to netball teams over the last year. Yvonne and her associate coaches have helped develop our fitness, improve our basic skills and now start to develop strategy to use in our matches. Advice and instructions are helping us grow and develop as a team in a structured, friendly environment.

I cannot thank Yvonne enough for the impact she has had on our children. The year 3,4,5 and 6 PE sessions were invaluable in both developing skills in the children and empowering teachers to deliver the curriculum effectively. The after school coaching has had such a positive impact on the children's attitudes, relationships and commitment and our teams have gone from not even knowing where they were allowed on court to winning their heats and competing in the Warrington school's final this year. It is so good to have competitive sports in our school again. Thanks!

"I asked Yvonne to help get a Beginners netball session off the ground in Chester. She did a great job! The girls were all really enthusiastic about her sessions and she worked really well with a very large group (40+ players on some weeks). Her sessions were well thought out and appropriate for the ability and experience of the players and also mindful of keeping everyone involved, which is difficult to do with a big group. I know Yvonne has a vast experience of coaching netballers of all ages and standards and she did a fantastic job with our beginners, who have well and truly caught the netball bug! We now have a league of 8 teams playing at the Northgate Arena Chester "
Jo Wilks

Haydock Netball Club
Our netball team had been playing together for approximately 7 months (back to netball) and we were on the look out for a coach. Yvonne and complete netball solutions were put forward by quite a few different people who really rated the sessions that she provided. I got in contact with Yvonne and have been lucky enough to be working with her since January 2014. I can't begin to tell you the improvement in our team since Yvonne started coaching our sessions. We have improved so much as players over the past 7 months and 2 out of 3 teams at haydock are currently top of their leagues. Although this is somewhat down to the girls and team spirit. I believe if Yvonne wasn't on board with our team we wouldn't be we're we are today. Thanks Yvonne we really appreciate all your hard work. You have developed us so much as players,that hadn't played for several years. Into netballers competing to win back to netball leagues! Thanks Yvonne we couldn't have done it without you!

Golborne Netball Club
I was told about a new Back to Netball group starting April this year in my area . I went along and only knew one person. Many of us had not played for 20 plus years. 3 months down the line, with the support, encouragement and expertise of Yvonne, we are forming 2 promising teams and are doing well in both leagues we have entered. Not only has our netball improved but we are forming friendships and having a really good laugh. We practice for an hour and a half each Thursday. Yvonne puts us through our paces with drills, adapting the session to the skill mix and number of ladies on the day. We then play games and are finding out which positions we are best suited to. I really look forward to Thursdays and playing our League matches each Wednesday and once a month on a Saturday. Yvonne keeps us posted about any tournaments happening and supports us to get organised. We could not have considered playing competitive netball without her knowledge and motivation.
Thank you Yvonne from Golborne Gulls

On behalf of WJNC we would like to thank Yvonne for all her help and input to restructure our netball club. Our new warm ups and ladder work are working well with all the age groups and we are now seeing improvement in their footwork and balance. Yvonne also set up parent forums which have helped the communication between Coach, parent and child.
Yvonne was initially brought in to mentor the two newly appointed head coaches but also mentored some of our other coaches, supporting them through their level 1 and 2 coaching certificates using her knowledge and expertise as a England Netball Coaching Assessor.
She helped the coaches to plan their sessions so they showed progressions for different abilities and that we followed a three week linked training programme.
Yvonne devised our training programme and delivered it when Sarah Bayman from England Netball came to observe us for our Silver Caps which Warrington Junior gained accreditation for in June 2014.
She coached our U13 from September 2013 – May 2104 and her coaching objective was to ensure that the juniors finished 2nd place in the Cheshire League in order to secure a place in the North West Regionals season 2014/15. Her coaching objective was achieved and our Junior’s will represent Warrington Town Juniors Club in the Regional U14’s League.
so a massive thanks Yvonne.

If you want to get fit for the netball court then you need to attend the Netball Fitness Bootcamps put on by Yvonne Sampson from Complete Netball Solutions!
The class is suitable for beginners and advanced alike fitness wise as you can work at a pace that's suited to you, but there's the encouragement to push that little bit more then you did previously. Fitness instructor Ian also had us incorporating some ball skills and netball passes into the workout too!
It's the type of class that's actually fun, imagine doing it with all your friends from your netball team, all supporting each other. Not to mention the benefit on court!
- Witton Albion are a fairly new team started by a bunch of friends. After around a year of self-coaching we realised that we had come to a bit of a standstill and that we wanted to progress further, both individually and as a team.
- We contacted Yvonne who was extremely helpful and explained that whatever our goals and whatever we wanted to achieve by getting a coach she would ensure she would give us. Top of our list was promotion. Within one season with Yvonne we got exactly that and were promoted, winning 9 out of our 10 games.
- Yvonne has brought us together as a team, there's a more positive atmosphere around and everyone puts in 100% to get the most out of her coaching. Everyone feels more open about sharing opinions and this has resulted in us growing and developing, not only as a team but individually.
- Along with development Yvonne has also helped in promoting the club, she's made new comers and beginners feel very welcome and has helped us to expand along the way. We are now hopefully looking into starting a second team, along with a junior team which means that the club is able to grow.
- Although we are only just going into our second season with Yvonne, everyone is excited about continuing training and learning, she brings everything that we had been missing to the club. She's brought team development and personal development - recognising each individual's strengths and weaknesses and pushing us all to improve to the best of our abilities. A friendly face, tons of experience and professionalism has made promotion achievable and brought more interest to the club which means that we are able to expand and welcome new people each week.
- Without Yvonne none of the above would have been achievable, she gave the club the direction we needed and for that we are all extremely grateful.

My daughter and I recently attended the Senior Netball Fitness Bootcamps at Birchwood, the session's were absolutely great! The class is designed with high impact aerobic work and core strength development.
I would encourage any player to come along and give it a try - it is a great test of your fitness

Netball is much more enjoyable than running on a treadmill in the gym for an hour and you meet so many nice women and have such a laugh that the hour passes really quickly. It is wonderful to put my baby girl to bed and then join a great group of women many of whom I have so much in common with.

We decided the Wednesday night sessions are most appropriate as they offer the chance to remember how to play, improve your skills with some great coaching and get involved in some friendly games. We hope the sessions will improve people’s confidence and skills to a sufficient level that we could form a team to play in more competitive situations. It’s very social, a great way to improve fitness and a fast and exciting game.

Capricorn Junior Netball Club has been established for 17 years. Our girls are always looking for ways to improve their netball skills. Having known Yvonne for several years and being aware of her vast experience as a player and a coach we encouraged some of them to attended Yvonne’s netball boot camps.
We found that these sessions were very well structured and tailored to the needs of the different age groups of players attending. We have had very positive feedback from the players who thoroughly enjoy the sessions and the parents who have nothing but praise for Yvonne and her team of coaches.
We will continue to send our players as we feel that these sessions are good value for money and the girls benefit from the extra quality coaching.

I found the boot camp an excellent way for my u11s netball team to have the experience of playing with other girls other than their team mates. I had great feedback from them and they even taught me a few training drills which we now use in our sessions !! I will definitely be sending the girls to the summer boot camp ,they had so much fun and it's excellent value for money.

My daughter Hannah has attended all of the after school clubs at Legh Vale . The sessions are run by friendly , experienced coaches which has enabled my daughter to gain confidence , learn new skills and have fun playing netball in a safe environment . Highly recommended
Julie Kain - Parent
My Daughter attended one of the pre-trial netball camps with and Yvonne and her Complete Netball Solutions team.
It was a great idea for the girls going for trials to see what to expect on the day. They were taken through the different aspects of what the county coaches would be looking at, from fitness to techniques, to listening and coachability.
The camp was challenging but rewarding for my Daughter. She has personally come away with particular observations that she can work on, thus improving her technique and in turn her game.
Bev, Elaine and Yvonne is a very experienced players and coaches, and all truly have a real passion for netball.
- Yvonne provides nothing but a first class coaching experience. She came to our club amidst massive changes and has given us the confidence and motivation to succeed in the new league we are about to join.
Each session is tailored to our needs as a team, not just a generic session which therefore allows us to get the most out of the sessions that Yvonne provides. We have thoroughly enjoyed each and every session, she has many tools in her toolbox so can offer you coaching sessions like know other.
Yvonne sessions are currently funded by our local council, but we hope to fund these sessions as a club in the near future so we can still continue to learn and develop.

Parent of child aged 10…..After attending a boot camp in June I would like to say what a great way to improve the skills and fitness away from her Club. My daughter came home with so much praise on the variety of drills and different ways of improving her game in netball. She can’t wait to go on the next one! Cath
- Warrington Town Netball Club have been established for many years and historically have been very successful, however we had reached a plateau and needed fresh ideas and varied training sessions.
I have known Yvonne for many years, and was very aware of her qualities as both player and coach. Four years ago I approached Yvonne to help us regain our ‘mojo’ and get us back to winning ways, at the same time playing ‘good to watch’ netball
It has been hard work, but Yvonne is an excellent coach and motivator, who can communicate at all levels. Her training sessions are intense but enjoyable, her vision is unbelievable, and she has re-vitalised our club. I believe we are playing excellent netball throughout all our teams, although there is still a bit of work to do to get us to where Yvonne believes we should be :c)
We have 6 teams so it is not easy for Yvonne, but her enthusiasm and love for the game keeps her motivated – this is also recognised by the quality of players we are recruiting - wanting to join a club they see as successful and moving forward
Since Yvonne has been coaching Warrington, we have exprienced huge success in the Warrington League, with all teams gaining consecutive promotions. During this time we have also gained promotion from the Cheshire Elite to the NW Regional League finishing 3rd in our first season
Yvonne has recently become involved in our junior club, and already we can see improvements in all aspects – structure, training etc. This year our U14’s will compete in the NW Regional League, so again we are also moving in the right direction at junior level
I cannot thank Yvonne enough for what she has done for our club, and wish her every success with her new business venture. I am sure it will be a success as Yvonne is a ‘Winner’

Witton Albion are a progressing netball team with all players working towards the same goal. All with a keen interest to develop their own netball ability whilst encouraging one and other to progress and take that step back to netball. Over the course of the year, the team has earnt promotion in the South Cheshire Netball League to the Championship Tier, beating a number of local rivals to earn promotion. The team has also participated in local tournaments, winning the plate in the Ladyhawks tournament with the help and guidance of Yvonne.
Over the course of the year, the team has seen a number of new faces join with a number of players finding enjoyment when playing out of their preferred position. Through Yvonne the team has gained an understanding of the different playing combinations available for match play and are no longer afraid of "mixing the team up".
Having worked with Yvonne for yet another season, the team feel even more comfortable and confident in being able to say what they feel, what they would change and how they would change it. No airs and no graces! The team has bonded well with strong combinations playing in attack and strong combinations playing in defence - we all understand one and others strengths and weaknesses due to the time invested by Yvonne in highlighting these and allowing us to work on them as individuals and as a team.
With the sessions delivered by Yvonne (definitely using out of the box thinking!) the team have really started to think about improving their fitness through other means... boot camps, gym sessions and power walks with the pram. The team didn’t think that the removal of two players from the pitch could have such an impact but a High 5 session with Yvonne taught us that perhaps we are not as fit as we first thought. Being keen to improve this, we are now embarking as a team on fitness sessions outside of the normal training session to achieve this goal on a FRIDAY night! #dedication
Yvonne has provided a great insight into the world of netball giving us real food for thought as to how and where the team would like to progress. Yvonne has guided us through the decision making process strengthening our ability to work together as a team. We have learnt to laugh together as a team and encourage mistakes which are made on court rather than taking it out on individuals. We have an abundance of funny moments (as they are now called) under our belt - not too sure whether Yvonne would laugh or cry if she were to witness some of these!!
With Yvonne's support and continued dedication the team have improved leaps and bounds this season and are hoping to do the same throughout the winter season. Witton Albion wish to not only withhold their current position within the South Cheshire Netball league next season but they also wish to raise the profile of the club by introducing a new team in 2015 to the lower tiers with the same goal of achieving promotion.
With the help of Yvonne we believe this is possible.
Thanks for all of your help over the past year and a half...we wouldn’t be where we are today without your expertise and guidance and for that we are truly grateful. You have dedicated your time to us, including going out of your way on weekends to help us in tournaments and managing to put up with us after heavy weekends! It’s not always an easy job with us girls but you come back week in week out with the same enthusiasm and dedication to get us to where we want to be.
Yvonne Sampson....turning ‘average’ netballers into great ones.

Can you book my Daughter on all the Netball Boot Camps she had so much fun.
