Just as the title says, I'm looking to watch a sports anime. I'm new to them and don't believe I have watched any so far. So if you have a recommendation on what I should watch first, feel free to respond. Thanks.
Seconding Haikyuu. :)
and this one isn't a sports anime per se (no running/moving around much), but it's classified as one and the matches are really engaging:
Chihayafuru
If you're in to baseball I'd recommend Taisho Baseball girls, its set in 1925 so it's got historical elements going on too if that's something you'd find interesting.

Hajime no Ippo
Yowamushi Pedal

Major S1
Kaze ga Tsuyoku Fuiteiru
Baby Steps
Diamond no Ace

Haikyuu
Over Drive
Area no Kishi
Tennis no Oujisama

Ashita no Joe
Cross Game
Eyeshield 21
Giant Killing
Hajime no Ippo
