National Sports Team

National sports team

A national sports team is a team that represents a nation, rather than a particular club or region, in an international sport. The term is most commonly associated with team sports, for example association football, baseball, curling, ice hockey or basketball. However, it can be applied to groups of individuals representing a country where regular play is done by individuals, and individual scores are aggregated to a get a team result. Examples of this association are found in artistic gymnastics, archery, or figure Skating. National teams often compete at various levels and age groups, and have a number of different selection criteria based on national and their respective federations' rules. For various reasons, National teams may not always composed of the best available individual players. National teams, like other sporting teams, are often grouped by sex, age and/or other criteria. The most prestigious national teams are often the senior men's and women's teams.
