Well, there are 5 players on each team.

Team A: 5 players (A, B, C, D, E)

Team B: 5 players (1,2,3,4,5)

A gave high five to 1,2,3,4,5

B gave high five to 1,2,3,4,5

C gave high five to 1,2,3,4,5

D gave high five to 1,2,3,4,5

E gave high five to 1,2,3,4,5

(It would be the same for the other team)

So all together, there would be an exchange of 25 high fives.
