I completely agree with thenewgreen. Team sports in school allow children to learn how to work and interact with each other to reach a common goal (winning in this case). It also shows how a team-based strategy can be used. Even in dodgeball, I can remember people throwing one ball up in the air then throwing another harder when somebody went for the easy one. It teaches you how to strategize, if you're paying attention.
