I'd also recommend Ping Pong. Additionally, 3-Gatsu no Lion is an amazing choice.

I just joined the club, but hope you don't mind I drop something here.

Titles here are super power free.

My absolute favorite is Hikaru no Go but I only read the manga, there's a ghost being the major character, but the plot is played kinda similar to Slam Dunk that it was about the protagonist journey.

There's Chihayafuru, not the most conventional sports you'll find out there and you won't still understand much about the sports even after watched the shows, but at least to my experience it's kinda thrilling because it did a great job to attached its characters to viewers, also it was animated by the respectable Madhouse, so the production value will not be the issues at least.

There's Cross Game. The sports here is not the main focus, as it was romance series. But there's rivalry here and determination for the protagonist to reach Koushien.

I liked Bamboo Blade mainly, The characters chemistry and the comedy were nice but just keep in mind it does not use the old competition routine. The Kendo match were rarely more than 3 minutes of the screentime.

One Outs is combination of Baseball and Gamble, lots of strategy and thought. And The protagonist always win if you don't mind that you can try it.

Hajime No Ippo and Ashita No Joe were classic, I've read Joe and it was good, it had the best sports rival characters.

If you don't have much free time because all of the above were quite long, there's Megalo Box for discount version of Ashita No Joe and Ping Pong which is concluded in 11 episodes, if you don't mind wacky and somewhat 'ugly' art.

Please check out Major. It follows a young pitcher with an impressive fast ball from his little league days to his middle and high school teams and onto his journey to play in the Major league. I can't recommend this anime enough, 6 seasons of greatness.

Hey there!

Kaze ga Tsuyoku Fuiteiru, is a really great show about a group of college students who want to participate in the marathon. Their group is full of peeps who actually should not be doing running but their endeavors still make this worth your time.

Ahiru no Sora, is a show about a short kid who loves to play basketball. But as he joins the high school basketball club he has to overcome a lot of problems to get the ball rolling if you catch my drift ;).
status is still ongoing

Megalo Box, if you like boxing anime with a dash of futurism to it you will like this one. Joe is a boxer who really wants to go pro but being from the underground it is hard for a "dog" like hime to make it big. Find out how he breaks free and finds his true self.

Free!, how do you feel when swimming? Did you say free as you can ever be? then you will surely enjoy the stunning visuals of free as they captivate high school rivalry among friends and more water then you know what to do with. Will this mismatch team make it to the nationals?
status is finished
multiple seasons

tried my best to synopsis these shows to you, always feel free to check the ratings and other reviews out for yourself.
