Hey, Skee-daddle!

Skee Ball, the game generations of Brooklyn kids grew up playing on the Coney Island boardwalk, has gone big league — with teams of lawyers turning it into a federal case.

For those who didn’t grow up in Brooklyn, the game resembles bowling, but players roll balls up an incline and aim for holes instead of pins.

The equipment was made on Coney Island back in 1929, and although Skee Ball Inc. moved, it’s still the only manufacturer.

The game — which some people still call Brooklyn’s national sport — has taken off, and machines can be found in restaurants around the country.

It also became a fad with hipsters — including the ones who colonized Williamsburg, home of the Full Circle Bar.

The watering hole hosts its own league and proclaims itself the “National Home of Brew-Skee Ball.”

Now Skee Ball Inc. is claiming trademark infringement and has gone — where else? — to Brooklyn federal court.

“We think they’re trading off the Skee Ball name,” said Richard Idell, a lawyer for the firm.

The bar says it’s doing the manufacturer a favor by raising the game’s profile.

“Full Circle has done as much as anyone . . . to promote Skee Ball as a sport,’’ said Robert Harkins, the lawyer for the bar, which last weekend was packed with players.

Longtime patron Leslie Ryan of Williamsburg said, “I grew up playing Skee Ball on the Jersey Shore — this is what I’ve always done.”

“I’ve been coming here for three years now, and I’ve been in a league the whole time. We call ourselves The Kandinskees. I’m an art director, so it made sense to me. But some people don’t get it,” Ryan said.

Another Full Circle patron, Nick Perold, 26, sided with the bar.

“Skee Ball is such an antiquated pastime. Nobody ever says, ‘Let’s go play Skee Ball!’ And yet here we are, saying that very thing!’’

He said if he were the manufacturer, he’d sponsor the bar.

“From a marketing perspective, this is where you want your brand to be — with the hipsters,” said Perold, the director of strategy for a marketing firm.

“These are the trendsetters,’’ he said.
