mini basketball

Small court game

Mini basketball is a smaller version of basketball, typically played with a reduced-size ball and lowered hoops, designed for young children or recreational play in limited spaces.

The term also refers to the smaller ball itself: She bought a mini basketball for her nephew.

Tabletop and arcade versions use the same name.
