I believe the answer is:

aside

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one team that can never get in front' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.

'one team' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'a' (a thing is one thing).
'team' becomes 'side' (both can mean a sports team).
'a'+'side'='ASIDE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for aside that I've seen before include "Whispered comment" , "Privately, apart" , "In reserve -- confidential remark" , "remark, incidentally" , "Actors comment to his audience" .)
