The Tamworth Local Aboriginal Land Council delivers the Bounce Back Program as part of its Safety and Wellbeing initiatives. The program is designed to support the safety, wellbeing and resilience of Aboriginal young people in the Tamworth community.
Bounce Back focuses on building youth engagement through positive recreational opportunities in a safe and supportive environment. The program aims to create meaningful connections while strengthening confidence, life skills and overall wellbeing.
The Bounce Back program operates on a flexible register-and-attend basis, meaning there is no requirement for prior confirmation. Attendance is entirely at the participant’s discretion, and registering for the program does not obligate them to attend every session.
Bounce Back includes a mix of basketball tournament nights and other activities during the first and fourth school terms of each year. Bounce Back is run on Friday nights.
The Bounce Between school holiday events are targeted at young people who show particular support needs or leadership skills within the Bounce Back tournaments.

Through structured recreational activities, strong community partnerships and ongoing support, Bounce Back provides young people with positive alternatives, encourages personal growth, and promotes safer community outcomes.

Our team is here to answer questions, take referrals, and help you find the right program. Registration forms are available prior to the commencement of each tournament.
