since, at least one boy and one girl are to be there in every team. Therefore, the team can consist of

$(a)$ $1$ boy and $4$ girls

$(b)$ $2$ boys and $3$ girls

$(c)$ $3$ boys and $2$ girls

$(d)$ $4$ boys and $1$ girl.

$1$ boy and $4$ girls can be selected in $^{7} C _{1} \times^{4} C _{4}$ ways.

$2$ boys and $3$ girls can be selected in $^{7} C _{2} \times^{4} C _{3}$ ways.

$3$ boys and $2$ girls can be selected in $^{7} C _{3} \times^{4} C _{2}$ ways.

$4$ boys and $1$ girl can be selected in $^{7} C _{4} \times^{4} C _{1}$ ways.

Therefore, the required number of ways

$=\,^{7} C _{1} \times^{4} C _{4}+^{7} C _{2} \times^{4} C _{3}+^{7} C _{3} \times^{4} C _{2}+^{7} C _{4} \times^{4} C _{1}$

$=7+84+210+140=441$
