Teamwork in Organized Sports

Learning to work well with others is a very important skill in both sports and in life. The success rate of a team is exemplified by the group’s cohesiveness and ability to work as one unit. Teamwork is the defining characteristic of professional sports teams. In organized sports, plays are rehearsed with each player knowing his or her role to contribute to the team.

For instance in soccer there is the forward, midfielder, defender and the goalie. Each position is conscious of its designated role and is aware of their other team members. This ensures that all corners of the field are covered and there is no overlap of positions. 

Teamwork is a vital characteristic for any team’s success. All players understand that they need to work together to achieve the same goal. Together, a team can overcome any challenges placed in front of them.  All sports have some form of teamwork involved.
