You've seen some club based anime before but not from a sports perspective, so note for this show is that japan treats school sports a different than we do in america, obv. The sports are clubs rather than official teams attached to the school per se, and they aren't attached to local leagues the way say a high school here would be. The only matches you get are if your club manager is able to arrange them. Some sport clubs can go all year doing zero matches, and maybe go to tournament like Shoyo did if they meet minimum reqs, only to lose their first and last match of the year. It's brutal. Also because it's a club rather than a team, sometimes there will be schools known for a particular sport or activity and they'll have so many people join a club that most of them cant even be on the "team" portion. Like the King's team in this episode where it was a powerhouse school so they had the first years who weren't even on the bench and were just running water.

With this on rotation, Slam Dunk and Ping Pong: The Animation need to be pushed next!
