About Bounce it Back

This website hosts the videos for the Bounce it Back Table Tennis School Program.

The Bounce it Back Table Tennis School Program is a sport for development initiative developed with support from the Australian Government and ITTF-Oceania. The activities are designed for schools but can also be adapted for community groups, youth groups and any organisation working with children and youth, including those with a disability.

The Bounce it Back program uses tabletennis as a means to improve the quality of life of young people by:

  • Increasing Levels of Physical Activity; and
  • Promoting Social Inclusion

The manual consists of eight engaging sessions each consisting of specific activities, designed to assist teachers with any level of table tennis understanding to deliver fun, safe and inclusive activities. Teachers and deliverers of the program are encouraged to utilise the activities and videos developed through the Smash Down Barriers program to help promote social inclusion, understanding and education through fun and enjoyable table tennis activities.
