TEAM SPORTS-BASKETBALL
Team, Individual/Dual Sports

Individual sports are those played by one person against another

or against a number of solo players. A dual sport (not to be
confused with team sports) is played by partners (two people)
against another set of partners or a number of sets of partners.

A team sport is an activity in which a group of individuals, on the

same team, work together to accomplish an ultimate goal which is
usually to win. Some team sports are practiced between
opposing teams, where the players interact directly and
simultaneously between them to achieve an objective.
