The Rugby Union Proficiency Awards are an important tool to help players, teachers and coaches assess rugby union skills. They are designed to be an enjoyable method by which players can identify their strong skills and the skills that they need to develop. They can also assess their fitness for Rugby Union. Each Award contains a series of tests suitable for each age banding in the game up for U7 to adult.
