RFU Rugby Proficiency Awards Summer Camp at Five Ways Old Edwardians

Five Ways Old Edwardians Rugby Club is a fun, safe and equitable place where young people are encouraged to achieve their sporting potential. The club is accredited by the RFU Seal of Approval a kite-mark for rugby clubs, is given only to clubs who meet the highest standards in providing a safe, effective and child-friendly environment in which youngsters can learn rugby.

We are running a summer camp between the 17th and 21st August 2008 to introduce new players to the game (boys and girls aged 8 - 17), enhance the ability of young people already involved in the game and develop key skills that will help them achieve their potential. The week will be structured around the RFU Rugby Proficiency Awards and which award the youngsters take will be based upon age, experience and current ability – there will be room for them to move between awards in the first two days of the course to ensure that they can succeed whilst being challenged.

Each Award contains a series of tests suitable for each age banding in the game up for U7 to adult. Points are scored for each test and the total for the whole award is banded into bronze, silver or gold level.

The cost of the course has been set as low as possible to ensure that anyone wanting to attend has the opportunity to do so. The cost of the 5 day course will be a very reasonable £30 inclusive.
