Team sport involves a group of athletes competing as a unit against another, unlike individual sports where each competitor competes on his or her own. Most team sports require a group of people to work together, requiring players to have defined roles and responsibilities. These teams are governed by a set of rules and regulations that establish how the game is played and scored.
