Red-blooded sports anime with a similar dynamic between the two leads: rivals who end up on the same team.

Both sports anime about a club haikyuu focusing more on the teams hard work the characters and hanebado focusing more on the struggles of the indiduals. Which i can't be held against it because badminton is a solo sport while volleyball is at minimum two. They both have stellar animation and while its early to judge the haikyuu!! characters are more realistic and have much better conversations.
Neither show contains super powers if your worried about a kuroko no basuke.

Both shows have 2 central protagonists with contrasting personalities. On one side there's the serious and angry protagonist and on the other, there's the more naturally excelling energetic protagonist (although that quickly fades in Hanebado)
Both shows also shows how conflicting personalities can help athletes to grow in a sense of accepting each other

Both have the same sports genre where it involves chacaters in a sports club vying to be the best as they struggle through the pain and challenges.

I highly recommend Hanebado! because it is quite similar to Haikyuu!! in a few aspects. First aspect is the fact that the characters are chasing the dreams.

Second, they both rely on reality but Hanebado! is way more realistic. Hanebado! also has a few funny moments but it is not considered a Comedy because the moments are limited. Unlike Haikyuu!!, Hanebado!'s cast is predominant female but this doesn't really matter much. As for animation,
