“On behalf of the staff of the Ipswich Grammar School, I would like to say a big thankyou to you, Haley, Tom and Mike for being such friendly, professional and thorough hosts on our tour. As teachers we had a great time and the boys relished each experience that you organised for them. They got a real taste of football in each country with training, playing, watching the big games and visiting the stadiums.
 
Each country had wonderful highlights and surprises: Dulwich College, Chelsea, Warwick Castle, the markets in Barcelona (as you suggested), everything in Italy (except the traffic). When we all return to school we’ll have many photos to swap (some many thousands of photos). They will keep the great memories alive for a long time.
 
Once again, many thanks to Complete Sports Solutions for the action-packed itinerary, friendly and professional staff and smooth sailing the whole trip.”

“We have toured with Complete Sports Solutions both in England and in Europe. All of the boys on the tours have enjoyed a number of fantastic experiences as a result of the help and advice given, leading up to and during the tour. I would highly recommend CSS to any school or club looking to travel at home or abroad with a sporting team.”

“We are about to embark on our second tour to Barcelona with Complete Sports Solutions. Our previous tour was well planned, professionally organised and enjoyable for all participants. This years process has been very similar and we look forward to our tour with enthusiasm.”

Arthur Brammer - Dulwich College

“Complete Sports Solutions have been excellent during the planning stage of our tour to LA. Whenever I have had a complicated query, of which there have been many, CSS have done everything in their power to ensure that our questions were answered and a suitable solution to the problem found. I have found CSS to be an imaginative and forward thinking tour operator and have put together a package that will be a once in a lifetime trip for our young footballers.

Having Jamie, the CEO, of the company visit the school to help launch the tour gave parents that piece of mind as it provided them with the opportunity to have any questions answered and worries allayed. I would definitely recommend the use of CSS for other schools and sports clubs. We are all looking forward to the trip immensely.”

“Complete Sports Solutions are very professional and well organized, looking forward to our UK and Spain tours in January and February.”

George Campbell - Berkhamsted

“I have trusted Complete Sports Solutions with the coordination of our Football tours for the past seven years. In that time, Jamie and the team have organized three fantastic tours. After outstanding tours to the UK and Italy in 2004 and 2007, we recently added Spain to our itinerary. CSS has built a comprehensive football programme around a series of matches against host schools. Stadia tours, cultural experiences and training at elite academies like AC Milan, Chelsea, Liverpool, Juventus and Barcelona have all been organized by CSS.

Accommodation has been of an excellent standard, as have meals, transport and other logistics. What sets CSS apart is their attention to detail and willingness to provide the group with best experience possible. I would strongly encourage any club or school group thinking of touring overseas, to contact Complete Sports Solutions.”

"We have used CSS annually since 2006 for sports tours in the UK and Europe. They are superbly run, we get access to professional academy coaches, tours & LIVE football games in some of the best stadiums around the world as well as playing fixtures against semi-professional opposition, a young footballers dream"

“I can strongly recommend this Elite Development programme. My own son has been given opportunities to train and play with various clubs under SGI and Complete Sports Solutions guidance which has resulted in him being signed by a Premiership Club Academy next season. I have no doubt that the players will be given the every opportunity to develop their potential”.

“Having worked closely with John Owens at Liverpool Football Club for over a decade I have no hesitation in recommending this Elite Development Programme for young ambitious footballers that wish to achieve their full potential and possibly enter into professional football in England. I will be delivering a session to the registered players and giving my honest feedback to the level they are at and the level they need to achieve”.

“I am always looking to recruit young ambitious players and I am looking forward to working with the players and assessing the ability level. We will be giving the player every opportunity to show us that they are good enough to trial at our club and potentially sign a professional contract if they are at the required level”.

Karl Robinson - Manager MK Dons 2010 - present

................................................................................................................................................................

“I am really looking forward to working with this group of elite players and using my extensive experience to guide them forward in their football careers. The technical programme will be devised and delivered by myself and my assistant coach. The programme will help the players improve their technical ability and give them a better understanding of the tactical situation they will encounter playing in England. My brief is to give the players a fantastic experience and provide opportunities for them to showcase their football potential to professional club in the UK”.

"Words cannot describe the gratitude our College has for Complete Sports Solutions. They organised a football tour that our students will remember for the rest of their lives. From the time I sent my first e-mail to the company, their professionalism and speed of reply was impeccable. Thanks to Complete Sports Solutions, our players were very fortunate to meet Mark Schwarzer and Tim Cahill, an amazing experience for any person, but especially for young Aussie footballers. The opportunity to train and watch matches at some of the biggest clubs in the world including AC Milan, As Roma, Manchester City and Liverpool, was incredible.

Complete Sports Solutions ensured that all training sessions and playing matches were completely appropriate to the skill levels of our diverse playing group. The standard of accommodation was overwhelming with spacious rooms and incredible meals, a big plus for teenage boys! A hug thanks to Jamie and all the staff at Complete Sports Solutions, we look forward to working with them for our next football tour".

"After dealing with Jamie Digwood and Complete Sports Solutions over the last few years I have complete trust in Complete Solutions. They are first class right across the board in terms of planning, preparation and delivering their programmes and projects in consultation with their customer so that they meet the requirements and needs of their groups.

Their extensive contacts and partnership links with high quality football clubs and coaches in the UK and Europe make them unrivalled in the overall quality of their tours. I would strongly recommend that you discuss your needs for any sports trip with them before deciding on your final choice of a future tour as you will not be disappointed".

Steve Waggott - Director, 21st Solutions ................................................................................................................................................................

"I have attended a Red Lion Football Tour to the U.K and can recommend their professionalism to anyone looking for the 'real deal' in a football tour.

Red Lion tours along with Complete Sports Solutions helped me access some of the largest clubs in the U.K, like Chelsea, Fulham, Liverpool, Everton and Manchester City, so I could look at their academy set ups and structures and the guys at Red Lion helped me immensely with their extensive network of clubs and contacts.

If you are looking for a football specific tour run by football people Red Lion Football and Complete Sports Solutions are the only people I would recommend for the full experience".

Miron Bleiberg - Head Coach, Gold Coast United FC
................................................................................................................................................................

Complete Sport Solutions proved to be the ideal football tour operators for our group. The planning and execution of our tour was everything we had hoped for. The opportunities to receive coaching at the famed football academies of Liverpool FC, Everton FC and Chelsea FC was mind blowing. The accommodation provided was very good as were the meals provided on our half board basis. The quality of opposition we played against was everything that we requested against the big EPL youth Academies. It was not just about the football though as Jamie and his group ensured that all our land transfers went smoothly and all our requests for cultural visits were accommodated.

The contacts that Complete Sport Solutions were amazing and our personal meeting with Mark Schwarzer after a Fulham v Everton EPL match was superb. EPL matches difficult to attend? Not with Complete Sport Solutions as we saw four EPL matches involving eight different EPL teams including Fulham, Everton, Bolton, Manchester United, Stoke City, Blackburn Rovers, Liverpool and Blackpool! Who else could do that?

For a group of footballers from Australia this was a once in a lifetime experience. I can thoroughly recommend Complete Sport Solutions as the only Sporting Tour Company you need to see to organize your tour. There is no need to go anywhere else. The professionalism, sporting opportunities and value for money you get here cannot be beaten!

Great job Jamie and the staff and we cannot wait to experience our next tour with you to Barcelona and Madrid in 2012.
