Athletics
Athletics at Dollar Academy is open to all pupils from Junior I to Form VI and runs throughout the summer term.
The club provides an opportunity for pupils to develop their skills across a range of track and field events, building on what they have learned in PE lessons. Training takes place on Mondays and Tuesdays after school on the athletics field in front of the Boys’ Pavilion.
Coaching
Athletics sessions are led by a team of Dollar Academy teachers, including staff from the PE department and across the senior school.
With multiple coaches on hand, pupils have access to a broad range of training opportunities, covering both track and field events. Whether looking to refine sprinting technique, improve endurance, or develop throwing and jumping skills, sessions cater to all levels of experience.
Fixtures
Pupils have the chance to be selected for inter-school, district, and national competitions, which take place throughout the summer term.
The club also offers a valuable opportunity to prepare for events at Junior and Senior Sports Day, held during Sports Weekend.
