This might seem weird to suggest, but there's a whole (girl's school) kendo subplot in Shikaotoko Aoniyoshi that you would never know about from the synopsis, tags, genre, etc. Which of course is not really a team sport, per se, but it was a team competition/tournament kind of setup, I think. What a weird drama, lol. But I remember actually liking the kendo parts even though it was completely random.
