The club also has pool tables and games consoles for them to enjoy.<br \/>\nSam Holt, 36, Project Officer at the Pentrebane Zone charity which runs the club, said: \u201dThis club can be a hook to get young people into the right things.<br \/>\n&#8220;Kids play up because they have nothing to do, this club is a way for them to find meaningful activity.\u201d<br \/>\nFairwater Councillor, Neil McEvoy, said: \u201cThe Zone is a great community asset, an example of people in the community coming together to improve their situation, and this club is a great initiative.\u201d<br \/>\nDespite progress in recent years, anti-social behaviour remains a problem in the area. A lack of organised activities in safe spaces is a cause of the problem, according to Mr Holt. Running since September, this club was founded as part of the solution.<br \/>\nMr Holt said: \u201cIt\u2019s about a balance between responsibilities and rewards. A few of the children destroyed a composting machine recently and we got them to rebuild it. It\u2019s this sort of thing which makes children and youths value community resources and see them as their own.\u201d<br \/>\nThis club is one scheme in a range of projects the Pentrebane Zone hopes to create.<br \/>\nA new boxing club is planned for January and is billed as a way to teach young people discipline in a fun environment.<br \/>\nThe club is set to be run by PCSO Ameen Alkailany. Mr Holt thinks that Mr Alkailany\u2019s involvement will see youths interact with the police in a positive way and create mutual respect.<br \/>\nThe club, which is based at the Pentrebane Zone Community Centre in Beechley Drive, is open every Monday from 6pm-8pm. The Pentrebane Zone opens between 9am and 2pm on weekdays.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A NEW youth club has opened in Pentrebane to teach children life skills and steer them away from anti-social behaviour.
