Answer:

5 teams of 10 players. There are 26 teams of 9 players each remaining 5 players. Those 5 will be distributed to 5 teams out of the 26 teams to make 10 players per team.

21 teams ( the remaining number of teams after the distribution of the remaining 5)

Explanation:

The total number of players available, irrespective of gender

= 118 + 121

= 239 players

If the coaches first make teams of 9 players and then the number of teams made can be found by dividing 239 by 9

= 26 teams of 9 players each remaining 5 players

If the remaining players are assigned to make some of the teams have 10 players, it means that 5 out of the 26 teams will have 10 players each. The remaining 21 teams would have 9 players each
