Gregor Townsend, former Scotland player and now attack coach with Scotland, visited Dollar Academy on Friday 9th December to take a coaching session with the school rugby teams.

In total, 22 pupils were involved in the master class, which lasted two hours and was recorded by an international film crew as a coaching module to be used on www.therugbysite.com

Commenting on the visit, Mr Rob Moffat, PE Teacher at Dollar Academy said: “We’re really delighted to have Gregor visit us for a coaching session with the boys and very grateful for his time.  Our pupils are all very excited about the class and thrilled that the footage will be used on such a high profile rugby training website.”

Dollar Academy has always had an outstanding reputation for PE, with continual investment in resources and training opportunities for its pupils across a range of sports.  Dollar Academy has achieved rugby success this year with the U-16 Rugby team reaching the finals of the Brewin Dolphin  Scottish Schools Cup at Murrayfield on 26th November.
