team sport

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).
