Team sport

Cricket is a popular team sport played at international level

Team sport includes any sport which involves people working together towards a shared objective.

Some team sports are practiced between opposing teams, where the players interact directly and simultaneously between them to achieve an objective. The objective generally involves teammates facilitating the movement of a ball or similar item in accordance with a set of rules, in order to score points.

However, other types of team sports do not involve teammates facilitating the movement of a ball or similar item in accordance with a set of rules, in order to score points. For example, Swimming, Rowing, Sailing, and Dragon Boat Racing among others are also team sports. People with Dyspraxia may prefer these team sports to bat and ball sports.

In other types of team sports there may not be an opposing team or point scoring. For example, Mountaineering. Instead of points scored against an opposing team, the relative difficulty of the climb or walk is the measure of the achievement.
