Budding young footballers are being invited to upload videos of themselves completing a skills challenge in order to win a training session with Albion's academy.

Boys and girls aged between under-9 and under-15 level are being challenged to 'Beat the Baggies'.

If they finish the skills challenge - which requires a football, a goal, and a penalty area - faster than Albion's own youth team players they will be invited to the Premier League club's category one academy for a chance to impress.

The challenge involves dribbling, keepy-uppys, sprinting, and shooting.

Hopefuls can watch the explanation film at www.beatthebaggies.com/halloffame before copying the challenge and uploading their own videos to the site.
