A Comparative Study of “Mini Basketball” in Chinese and International Sports

小篮球作为一项体育运动，对于增强青少年体质及挖掘我国篮球运动潜力具有不可忽视的作用。本研究采用文献调研与案例比较分析，对国内外(尤其聚焦美国、澳大利亚及西班牙)的小篮球发展模式进行了深入对比。研究发现，我国小篮球的发展主要依托体育培训机构和篮球赛事的推广；而在美国，学校成为推动该运动的核心，澳大利亚则借助“Aussie Hoops”计划培育人才，西班牙则侧重于俱乐部的发展模式。基于此，文章建议我国应进一步促进体育与教育的有机结合，优化竞赛机制，并推进小篮球运动的多样化进程。As a sport, mini basketball plays an important role in enhancing the physical fitness of young people and tapping the potential of basketball in China. This study uses literature research and case comparative analysis to make an in-depth comparison between the development model of small basketball at home and abroad (especially focusing on the United States, Australia and Spain). The study found that the development of mini basketball in China mainly depends on the promotion of sports training institutions and basketball games; in the United States, schools become the core of promoting the sport, Australia uses the “Aussie Hoops” program to cultivate talents, and Spain focuses on the development model of clubs. Based on this, this paper suggests that China should further promote the organic combination of sports and education, optimize the competition mechanism, and promote the diversification process of mini basketball sports.
