Common examples
Team sports with wide participation include 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 unitMost team sports involve a ball or other object. In some sports such as football, basketball or hockey, the teams contend for possession of the object, which must be passed through some sort of goal; in other sports, such as volleyball, the teams pass the object back and forth in an attempt to place it in contact with a certain area of the playing field or court. Baseball, cricket, and other sports which use a bat to strike at the ball, are relatively unsual in that the team playing defense controls the ball, with the team attempting to score trying to propel the ball away from themselves while the players themselves attempt to reach a specified goal. Cheerleading, to the extent that it is considered a sport, is a team sport that does not involve a ball at all. Instead it relies on the athletic ability and creativity of participants in developing and executing artistic configurations.
Relay and pairs events are not considered team sports.
History
Evidence suggests that the Mesoamerican ballgame was played as a team sport as much as 3,000 years ago, with competing teams attempting to pass a rubber ball through a vertically suspended stone circle.Theory of team sport
Team sports tend to follow the human trend of pack cooperation to achieve certain physical goals, and to compete with rival humans. Although this is now not applicable in the real world today, where academic prowess is far more important, physical competition still exists in the sportsfield as a means for humans to develop their teamwork abilities for use in post-academic life, such as business.
