How to divert act with a team? (4,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

turn aside

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

'how to divert' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'act with a team?' is the wordplay.
'act' becomes 'turn' (theatre).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'team?' becomes 'side' (both can mean a sports team).
'turn'+'a'+'side'='TURN ASIDE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for turn aside that I've seen before include "Leave the path" , "Avert your eyes!'" , "Avert; deviate" .)
