I can't understand their problem. You sound like a perfectly reasonable neighbour.

problem is they do not trim the hedge due to to basketball, and that causes light loss

So who can control the basketball?  You.  The problem is of your own making.

Your kids are able to play basketball without damaging parked cars thanks to the tall hedge. In return for that, you endure some loss of sunlight due to the tall hedge. Sounds like a fair bargain?

It sounds like the management co/neighbours would be happy with a short hedge if your kids stopped playing basketball there.

OP, I get that balls don't bounce much on grass but is there enough room in your back garden to create a hard-standing area your children could use for playing basetball? As has been said, it sounds as though that's the sticking point. If the management co/neighbours can see you've made an effort to address that issue they might meet you half way and agree to cut the hedge back.

Yes agreed 

At the end of the day you have bought and installed something which doesn't seem to be suitable for its current location 

That's nobody else's responsibility.

To be fair, if your ball kept hitting my car I'd be keeping an eye out as well and coming out to tell them (or more specifically you) to be more careful. And I'd probably be getting less courteous each time it happened.
Do you really not see the problem here?

I also would not be happy about a ball hitting my car, it doesn’t matter if it’s an old banger, or a brand new Porsche.  

I really don’t understand why you would think this is ok, and I suspect you won’t get anywhere with having the hedge cut until that issue is resolved.

in all those years ball hit his car max 4 times, it is not like it is constantly hit,
