team sport
Collective competitive play
A team sport is an athletic activity in which organized groups compete against each other rather than individuals acting alone: Basketball, soccer, and hockey are team sports.
Success depends on coordination and cooperation among teammates.
The term contrasts with individual sports like tennis singles or golf.
