What These Team Games Handwritten Notes Contain

Team Games is Chapter 5 of Class 11 Physical Education. The NCERT book explains a team game as an activity where two or more players work together toward a shared objective under a set of rules to beat the opposing team. These handwritten notes condense the eight games in the chapter into pages that read like a topper's own notebook.

Each game is written on its own set of pages under the same four headings, so nothing gets mixed up:

  • History: who invented the game, when its world body and Indian federation were formed.
  • Ground or court: the exact length, width and equipment sizes, drawn as a labelled diagram.
  • Players and rules: the number of players, playing time and the main functional rules.
  • Skills and key terms: the basic skills and the words the paper likes to ask about.

Because the pages are handwritten, the numbers sit in boxes and tables rather than long paragraphs. A student can flip through the Team Games Class 11 pages in a few minutes and still recall the court sizes, player counts and governing bodies before walking into the exam.

Grounds, Courts and Player Numbers at a Glance

The exam loves one-mark and two-mark questions on exact sizes and player numbers, so the handwritten notes gather them into one master table drawn on a single page. The table below is the same one, built straight from the NCERT figures for each game.

GameGround / CourtPlayers on fieldKey equipment size
Basketball28 m × 15 m court5 (squad of 12)Ring 3.05 m high; ball 749–780 mm, 567–650 g (men)
CricketPitch 20.12 m × 3.05 m11 (+ 5 extras = 16)Bat 965 mm; ball 155.9–163 g; stumps 28 in high
Football90–120 m × 45–90 m11 (incl. goalkeeper)Ball 68–70 cm, 410–450 g
Handball40 m × 20 m court7 (6 court + 1 GK)Goal 2 m × 3 m; ball 58–60 cm, 425–475 g (men)
Hockey91.40 m × 55 m11 (10 + 1 GK)Goal 3.66 m × 2.14 m; ball 156–163 g
Kabaddi13 m × 10 m (men)7 (squad of 10–12)Baulk line 3.75 m, bonus line 4.75 m from mid-line
Kho-Kho27 m × 16 m playfield9 (+ 3 extra)Pole 1.20–1.25 m high, 9–10 cm diameter
Volleyball18 m × 9 m court6 (squad of 12)Net 2.43 m (men) / 2.24 m (women); ball 65–67 cm, 260–280 g

Seeing all eight games in one grid is the fastest way to avoid mixing them up. A student who can reproduce this table has already secured most of the direct-figure marks the Team Games chapter offers.

History, Skills and Rules of Each Team Game

The bulk of the handwritten notes explain each game in its own block. The pages keep the history dates, the governing bodies and the basic skills as short boxed points, because these are the parts that turn into short-answer and long-answer questions.

  • Basketball: invented by Dr. James Naismith in December 1891 at Springfield, USA; world body FIBA (1932), Indian body BFI (1950). Skills to remember are stance, dribbling, passing-receiving, shooting and rebounding, and the game runs 4 quarters of 10 minutes.
  • Cricket: first recorded in 16th-century England; the MCC (1787) is the custodian of the laws, the ICC was formed in 1907 and the BCCI in 1928. The notes box the 11 ways a batsman can be given out, from bowled and caught to LBW and run out.
  • Football: governed by FIFA (1904) and played under 17 Laws across two 45-minute halves. Key terms drawn on the page are offside, direct and indirect free kick, penalty kick, and the yellow and red cards.
  • Handball: rules unified by Karl Schelenz (1917); the world body IHF took its name in 1946 and the Handball Federation of India was set up in 1972. The 6-metre goal-area line, the 9-metre free-throw line and the 7-metre throw are the pinned points.
  • Hockey: the modern game grew in England; the world body FIH was founded in Paris in 1924. The notes stress that the ball is played only with the flat left side of the stick, and that a team of 16 fields 11 players.
  • Kabaddi: an indigenous Indian game that gained national status in 1918; the AKFI was founded in 1973. Boxed points cover the raider chanting "Kabaddi", the baulk and bonus lines, and two halves of 20 minutes.
  • Kho-Kho: originated in Pune, Maharashtra, with rules framed in 1914; the Kho-Kho Federation of India was formed in 1956. The pages note 9 playing members, the chasing "Kho" and the pole-to-pole running.
  • Volleyball: invented as "Mintonette" by William G. Morgan in 1895; world body FIVB (1947), Indian body VFI (1951), Olympic debut in 1964. The rotation of six players and the net heights are the exam favourites.

Grouping each game under the same four headings means students can compare them quickly. That habit helps the most in long-answer questions that ask you to describe the history, rules and skills of any one game in full.

Common Mistakes These Notes Help You Avoid

A few errors cost marks every year. The handwritten notes flag each one in the margin so students can fix it before the exam. These five are the most common.

  • Swapping court sizes. Basketball is 28 m × 15 m while handball is 40 m × 20 m; do not mix them.
  • Wrong player numbers. Volleyball fields 6, handball 7, kho-kho 9, and basketball only 5.
  • Mixing up governing bodies. Football is FIFA, hockey is FIH, basketball is FIBA and volleyball is FIVB.
  • Forgetting football has 17 Laws and cricket has 11 ways of getting a batsman out.
  • Missing that kabaddi and kho-kho are indigenous Indian games, not imported ones.

Students who fix these five points usually move from average to high marks. The handwritten notes box the sizes, player counts and federation names, so the soft points are hard to miss when you revise.
