Cricket

As one of the principal sports here at Dollar, our cricket facilities are well resourced for any pupil looking for an introduction to the sport or to build on their existing skills. Dollar are currently both U15 & U18 Scottish Schools Champions.

Boys and girls who are keen cricketers are welcome to make the most of our first-class facilities and excellent coaching. They can get involved in competitive or recreational play at any point in their time here, from Junior 1 all the way up to Form VI.
Matches take place in the summer term, but there is year-round activity with high-quality individualised coaching through the winter, pre-season training, and trips abroad. Coaching can be highly technical, utilising video analysis and a range of teaching tools.
Several of our pupils have gone on to success at national level and in 2018 Dollar Academy were national champions at both U18 and U15 level.
Each year, Dollar hosts fixtures against strong touring teams, including the MCC and the XL Club.
Dollar places a premium on the value of team games and, as well as being enjoyable in itself, cricket teaches positive virtues such as teamwork, performing under pressure, and sportsmanship.

*Following on from the success of our recent cricket tour, the next cricket tour will be held during the 2021 February break to La Manga.
