Youngsters in Glapwell will be fighting fit with free weekly sessions of Derbyshire Constabulary’s Ozbox coming to the village.
Officers from the Glapwell Safer Neighbourhood Team have organised the sessions to prevent youngsters in the village becoming involved in anti-social behaviour.
The sessions will take place on Monday evenings in Glapwell Community Centre, The Green, from 5.30pm to 7.30pm.
The first session will be held tonight (Monday, January 23).
Ozbox is a free scheme aimed especially at youngsters between the ages of 11 and 19.
It is a boxing-based fitness programme which combines circuit training and boxing skills to improve confidence, discipline and fitness.
It also helps local officers to build relationships with youngsters and offer them something positive to take part in.
Youngsters from Glapwell and surrounding villages are welcome to attend.
Anyone wanting to take part must first sign a consent form which is available at Glapwell Community Centre, Doe Lea Centre and New Houghton Community House.
For more information contact PC Tony Bagshaw or PCSO Dave Hancock on the non-emergency number 101.
