Hajimo no ippo/Major/kuroko no basket (this sh.it is good !!)

I like the general theme where the main char sucks/talented and grows as the series goes on to fight rivals etc.

Also, you can list your general EPIC anime also because I need MOAR!!

One Outs is a pretty good baseball anime. The mc is a genius and uses tricks to beat his enemies...

For something epic, try Code Geass.
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

Slam Dunk - somewhat dated, but if you can stomach the style then you're in for a great journey
Prince of Tennis - long running superpower Tennis (mores unrealstic than kuroko).
Over Drive - cycling
Ace of Diamond - baseball, currently airing

Tactics/strategy driven:
One Outs
Giant Killing - soccer/football mgmt.

Not 'traditional' sports but highly recommended:
Chihayafuru - recent and highly popular - worth a shot regardless
Hikaru no Go - Jap board game (can be a hard to follow the matches).

Haven't seen myself but popular:
Eyeshield 11 - Football (american) - i believe it's powers based.
Captain Tsubasa - powers soccer.
Initial D - DRIFTING
Ookiku Furikabutte - recentish baseball

Dated:
Adachi Mitsuru's Baseballl: Touch, H2. Cross Game
Ashita no Joe - THE boxing anime/manga before Ippo
Whistle
Aoki no Densetsu Shoot - old, soccer
Yawara! - Judo

Assorted 'epic'-things you may enjoy:

Nothing is bad for being in any genre or demographic, especially anime for kids.

Initial D!!!

I remember when I first got hooked to sports anime from Hajime no Ippo and thought nothing would compare. Initial D was fucking cash pretty much awesome. The first season (or stage) the animation is REALLY bad, but if you can get over the animation the plot is sick. The animation vastly improves after the first stage.

One outs

"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself."
