Team sport refers to sports that are practiced between opposing teams, where the players interact directly and simultaneously between them to achieve the objective, such as in football (in its various forms), cricket, baseball, handball, hockey, basketball, and volleyball. The term is used to distinguish itself from individual sports which are based solely on individuals' merit (i.e. most racket sports, boxing or Martial arts) and individual timed races (such as may occur in athletics or swimming). However, racing sports like swimming, cross country, and track and field are also contested as team sports, especially scholastically. Although they differ in many ways from ball sports, teamwork and team scoring play a major part in these competitions. As with other team sports, scoring relies on the depth and versatility of the team, although standouts can significantly affect their team's points. Team sports are when a team works "together" as a unit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Team_sports
