Design notes

Here the whole H stands on the page in true proportion: two uprights 5.6 metres apart with rounded tops, a crossbar 3 metres up and the red protectors at their feet. The club logo, organisation and PLAYER OF THE SEASON sit high between the posts, the name rests just over the bar, and the program, statement, season highlights and signatures follow below it. Under the ground line a touchline strip records the team, position, division, season, issue date and credential ID beside the QR code.

About

Rugby Award Certificate Template, Goal Posts Portrait

A tall rugby certificate fits the frames and folders that families keep, which is why many school and junior sections choose portrait for their season awards. It works for a player of the season in the under-sixteens, a club's young player of the year or a school's rugby colours, given out at the last home match or the awards evening by the coach and the captain.

Wording on the template“For an outstanding season in the first fifteen: nine tries, the side's highest tackle count and the calm leadership that held the team together when it mattered most.”

Subject: name, your rugby season award is ready

Hi name,

What a season. From the first training session to the final whistle, your effort did not go unnoticed, and the coaches and the squad wanted to mark it properly.

Your rugby award is ready. Open it to see the certificate, download a copy to print for the wall, or share the badge on LinkedIn so friends and family can celebrate with you.

Thank you for everything you gave the team this year. See you at pre-season.

Post for the recipient to share

Proud to receive the player of the season award from my rugby club. Every tackle, every early training session and every win was shared with a squad I am lucky to play with. Thank you to our coaches and teammates for a season I will not forget. Back for more next year. #Rugby #RugbyUnion #TeamSport

Printing

Printing it well

Print at actual size

Choose “Actual size” or 100% in the print dialog, not “Fit to page”, so the margins and the QR code keep their size.

Use card, not paper

A matte or silk card of 200–300 gsm (about 80–110 lb cover) feels like an award and does not curl in a frame.

Frame it

A4 fits a standard 21 × 29.7 cm frame; US Letter fits an 8.5 × 11 in frame, or an 11 × 14 in frame with a mat. Hang it upright, as designed.

Mind the edges

Most home printers leave a thin white border. For a design that runs to the edge, use a print shop or your printer’s borderless setting.
