I have a border near where my son plays basketball so anything that I have tried to plant there gets bashed by the ball. It is an area that needs screening from the neighbors too. Any ideas for a hardy plant that can withstand the ball?

My first thought was also a spiky plant and a laugh as my children have not played ball near my Agave bed since a ball was impaled on it.
Where in NZ are you? Bamboo would provide screening and not mind the odd ball hitting them. Soft grasses like Miscanthus come to mind.
