Aged 10-15? – CBBC is searching for the UK’s best young footballers.

How to apply

To apply, you’ll need to complete the application form and email it to us, plus send us a video of you showing off your best football skills via our CBBC uploader(details below).

If you are selected by the team here at CBBC, you will be invited to attend a regional Trial where you’ll be able to show off your best tricks and flicks and take on our Can You Kick It? assault course, specifically designed to test all aspects of your football technique.

The 10 footballers with the best time on our course will then progress to Training Camp and have a taste of pro-football facilities around the UK. Only the most capable will progress to the Grand Final and one will be crowned Can You Kick It? Champion 2019.

Trials will take place from late April to the middle of May in various UK regions.

Should you progress to Training Camp, it will take place over 10 days between mid-June and mid-July. You must be available during these days.

  • Make sure you’re not wearing clothing with large logos, or your school uniform.
  • Make sure the video does not identify your location, school or home address.
  • The video should feature only you, not anyone else.
  • Try and film during daylight if possible.
  • Ask a parent or friend to help you film – or think about safely resting your phone or camera on something to help keep it steady.
  • Try and make sure your skills stand out, make sure we can see all of it and show off your ability as much as possible to really impress.
  • Please be aware of your surroundings and ensure you are filming in a safe place.
  • Please do not film close to a road or anywhere considered dangerous.
  • Make sure any equipment you use is safe and do not do anything that might cause you harm. Get your applications to us as soon as possible.
