Our cricket programme welcomes boys and girls from Prep 4 through to Form VI, offering them the chance to engage in both competitive and recreational play. Matches take place in the summer term, but there is year-round activity with high-quality individualised coaching through the winter training programme, pre-season training and trips abroad.
Our experienced coaching team is led by Cedric English. As well as being a former Scotland Internationalist, Cedric has over 30 years of experience as a professional cricket player and coach in South Africa, England, Scotland and New Zealand. Since 2016, he has been a lead coach with the Scottish U17, U18 and U19 cricket teams, and has been involved in numerous U18 European Qualifying events and four U19 World Cups. He is a contributing member of the Cricket Scotland High Performance Coaching Group and an Associate Professor of Coaching, Performance and Development at Napier University.
In recent years the school have enjoyed success at national level, winning competitions at both U18 and U15 level, as well as hosting top quality touring teams including the MCC and the XL Club. Our exciting collaboration with Cricket Scotland positions Dollar Academy as the National Training Centre for the U15, U17, and U19 Boys and Girls national teams, paving the way for unparalleled opportunities in the development of young talent.
With our stunning pitches set against picturesque surroundings, Dollar Academy provides the perfect environment for aspiring cricketers, where passion for cricket is matched only by our commitment to fostering long-lasting friendships, teamwork and personal development.
