🏀
Basketball
The easiest indoor sport to set up: a door or a wall, a soft ball, and a hoop at the right height.
What to look for
- Over-the-door hoops: check your door's thickness and whether the bracket is padded so it won't scratch.
- Use a foam or soft rubber ball indoors; a full-size ball is too hard on walls and lights.
- For toddlers, choose a hoop with adjustable height so it grows with them.

Football
Indoor football is about tabletop games and soft-ball throwing practice, not tackling.
What to look for
- Finger-flick and tabletop football games are great for rainy-day competition.
- A foam football and a toss target work on accuracy without breaking anything.
- Clear a lane away from TVs and windows before throwing.
