Among the many sports there are, there are many that are considered team sports. These sports include Basketball, Ice Hockey, Cricket, Soccer, and Netball.
Basketball
During the basketball season, teams of players play on a basketball court. The court is generally rectangular, with a diameter of about 18 inches. It is attached to a backboard at each end of the court. The team with the most points is declared the winner.
The object of the game is to throw the ball through the hoop, or to stop the opponent from doing so. A basketball player can score in a number of ways, including by dribbling the ball to the basket, shooting the ball, or rebounding a missed shot.
Ice hockey
ICE hockey is a team sport played on ice. The goal is to shoot a rubber puck into the opponent’s net. The game is played in three 20-minute periods. The team that scores the most goals wins the game. It is one of the most physical sports. Players wear protective helmets and gloves.
Ice hockey was originally played in Canada. The game was later introduced to Europe. During the early 1900s, Canadian rules were adopted. The first indoor hockey game was played at the Victoria Rink in Montreal on March 3, 1875. In 1877, several McGill students codified seven rules.
Netball
Currently, netball is the most popular team sport among women in Australia. It is a non-contact sport that requires good movement skills and stamina. Players must move from one area of the court to another, passing the ball in order to advance up the court. A netball match usually involves two teams, each consisting of seven players. The team that scores more goals at the end of the match wins.
In netball, each player is assigned a position. Each position is located in a different area of the court. These positions have specific purposes. For example, the goal attack plays tactically to get the ball to the shooter.
Soccer
Whether you play for fun or for money, soccer is fun to watch. It is a sport that builds community. As the saying goes, “a team is better than a single player”. In some countries, players are tied to their clubs for life.
Using a ball with an elaborate goal and field, two teams of eleven players compete for 90 minutes. The objective is to score a goal. The most common method is to pass the ball from one player to another within a penalty area.
Cricket
Among many sports played in the world, cricket is the most popular. It is a team sport that involves two teams of eleven players, each carrying a cricket bat. The aim of the game is to score as many runs as possible in a given period of time. The team that scores more runs wins the game.
The game is played on a cricket pitch, an oval or rectangular field that is 120 yards by 180 yards in size. The pitch is divided into three vertical stakes.
