Ozbox sessions also start on Wednesday and will take place every other week.
The OzBox scheme involves sessions of non-contact boxing and fitness training that are free to youngsters aged 11 upwards.
Police community support officer Linda Ball said: "This is great for the kids if they are looking for something to do on the darker evenings."
The hall is at the opposite end of the church from the main entrance.

“Non contact boxing? Very sensible. I do hope that the table tennis will be played without the use of the highly dangerous ping pong ball. Those things can sting, and are certainly a choking hazard. In that spirit, I suspect that the pool table will not have any balls either.”
