Ping pong is the one of the only anime’s I’ve ever seen. It’s pretty good.

Yuri on Ice. People who haven’t watched it tend to only know that it’s gay, which it is, but it’s also just an incredible sports anime because a) it’s very true to life in the way the sport and training for it works and b) the protagonist’s opponents are portrayed as actual sports competitors instead of as villains - by the end, you almost don’t care who wins because you want all of them to win. Also the competitions felt extremely tense and exciting to watch. Also they really crank up the animation budget for important competition scenes.

The first 3 episodes are hard to get through - way too awkward to watch - but after that it becomes an incredible show, imo.

Haikyuu!, Slam Dunk, and the Prince of Tennis are all amazing!

Baby Steps is a really good Tennis manga, not sure if there was an anime adaption or if it was good or not. I’m a big fan of Yowamushi Pedal, which might be more well known for its in universe anime “Love Hime”'s fake OP.

I loved Hajime no Ippo, a long series but an amazing comedy and drama sports anime.

Chihayafuru.

• Haikyuu! Sports anime about volleyball. Even if you don’t care for it as a sport, I’d still heartily recommend it. The visuals are great, the characters are really well-developed and I don’t think I’ve seen a more hype-creating anime than this one. Seriously, if you like those really hype moments and/or arcs in shounen anime, you’ll love Haikyuu.

We saw some episodes of keijo. Is is fun if you want to try something different

Yawara! - a judo manga / anime by Naoki Urasawa (better known for Monster and 20th Century Boys)

Blue lock is quickly becoming one of my favorites. I do echo everyone else here saying haikyuu though!
