Use of the article before team sports

Team sports are considered as team building activities to keep an individual fit and healthy. While some people think that the team sports help in building a good personality and health.

Sports are considered as the personality building activities that will keep a person healthy and fit. The sports are very important to keep yourself healthy, happy, and cheerful.

Just want to know why the use of the before team sports/sports is wrong here. Apologies if this is a silly question.

Solution 1:

The definite article is used when speaking of a specific item or items. The only way I can see "the team sports" working is if students (for example) must choose from a list of sports including some team sports. It then makes sense to say that the team sports, meaning the team sports on the list, help in building a good personality etc.

Similar considerations apply when speaking more widely of sports.
