The pronoun you are looking for is the word THEIR.
Person: third person. Pronouns such as he, she, it, and they are considered to be third person pronouns.
Number: plural. Given that there are more than one individual on the team, the pronoun to refer to them has to be plural as well.
Gender: none. We don't know if the team consists only of boys or girls, which is why we cannot determine the gender for sure.
Case: Accusative/Object. They poured water over whom? Their coach. So the case should be indirect object.
