Description
The series is primarily set in Tokyo, and centers around Ryoma Echizen, a tennis prodigy who attends Seishun Academy or Seigaku for short, a private school famous for its strong tennis club and talented players. Ryoma quickly defeats numerous upperclassmen shortly after entrance to secure himself a spot as one of the team's regulars. In pursuit of their ultimate goal of winning the National Middle School Tennis Championship, members of the team make new friends while learning and mastering increasingly complex techniques. Ryoma also begins to develop his own style of tennis, and eventually realizes what the sport really means to him.

Seigaku
Seishun Academy or Seigaku for short, is famous for its talented tennis club, thus the series' leading protagonist, Ryoma Echizen, is enrolled into the school by his father, Nanjiro Echizen, a former professional tennis player and also a former student of Seigaku. Although Seigaku is well known for their tennis skills in the past, the absence of Nanjiro Echizen throws the team into somewhat of a slump, leaving them unable to make it to Nationals over the next several years until a first year, Tezuka, joins the Regulars. The team slowly forms, and Seigaku manages to pull off its first National victory after Ryoma joins. The team's traditional uniform colors are blue, white, and red; blue and white shirts with red stripes on the collar, white shorts, and blue and white jackets with the Seigaku logo on the back with several red stripes on the cuffs and collar. The regulars also get their name personally stitched into the jacket. They also have blue warm-up pants with "Seigaku" printed on one side.
Fudomine
Fudomine Middle School is an unseeded, unknown public school that has rumors of violence. It is originally unknown due to an unreasonable coach and a lazy set of senior regulars. The freshmen at Fudomine are brutalized severely by the older tennis club members, while the coach ignores the mistreatment. Tachibana and the abused freshman attempt to rally together and form their own tennis club, but the coach and the other players find this idea absurd and go out of their way to stop this from happening. When the coach allows his older team members to attack Tachibana and the freshman, Tachibana snaps and attacks the coach. As a result, Fudomine is pulled out of the District Tournament that year. Tachibana and the others eventually reform the club, and surprise everyone at the tournament the following year by upsetting the Number two seed, Kakkinoki, before losing to Seigaku in the finals. They go on to make it all the way to the Quarterfinals of the Nationals, before ultimately losing to Shitenhouji. Fudomine's uniforms are black hooded jackets with the Fudomine logo, black shirts, white shorts, and black warm-up pants.
St. Rudolph
St. Rudolph is a team that first appears in the Tokyo Prefectural Tournament Arc and faces Seishun in the quarterfinals. The school itself only recruits students who are gifted at tennis and they only practice together once a week. The teams uniform is a white shirt with brown, brown shorts, and brown warm-up pants.
Yamabuki
Yamabuki Middle School is a national caliber team that bases their strategy on two strong doubles teams, supported by the National caliber Singles player Sengoku, and they aim to use those three weapons to defeat opponents before the matches get drawn out. When their strategy was foiled in the previous year by Seigaku's Tezuka defeating Sengoku, they recruited a second dominant singles player in Jin Akutsu, with the aim to eliminate that weakness. Yamabuki's uniforms are green jackets with yellow stripes with hoods, shirts also of the same design, white shorts, and green warm-up pants.
Hyotei Academy
Hyotei Academy Secondary Department is a team that uses a strict stratification and merit system, which prioritizes ability only rather than emotion. If any regular loses a match, they are removed from their spot and only given a second chance in very rare conditions. With Keigo Atobe as their leader, Hyotei's tennis club is over two hundred members strong. They suffer setbacks early in the story, losing to Fudomine during the Prefectural Tournament, and then they are defeated by Seigaku during the first round of the tournament before the nationals, leaving them ineligible. They are all depressed until they receive a special invite due to the host city, Tokyo, getting to invite one extra team. According to Takeshi Konomi, Hyotei's popularity was much higher than he expected, and it was for that reason that he chose to bring them back into the story.
Josei Shonan
Josei Shonan resides in the Kanagawa Prefecture of the Tokyo region. Though they are mentioned in the manga, they only appear in the anime, where they replace Midoriyama as Seigaku's opponents in the second round of the Kantō Tournament.
Rokkaku
Rokkaku Middle School is a team based in the Chiba Prefecuture, which focuses on training local children in tennis from an early age. They have a large playground, which is often used to train, with a tennis court nearby. They make the Kantō Tournament semi-finals, where they lose to Seigaku. They advance to the National Tournament, but they are upset by a dark horse team, Higa.
Rikkai
Rikkai Junior High School is located in the Kanagawa prefecture and is considered to be the best team, having won the Japanese National Tournament for the last two years. They aim for perfect wins in the matches and attempt to win for the third year in a row. They are introduced fully during the Kantō Tournament, where they easily crush Fudomine in the semi-finals. In the finals, however, they suffer a loss to Seigaku, and return to the Nationals as underdogs. They make their way all the way through to the finals of the Nationals, but they are once again defeated by Seigaku, ending their hopes of winning a third straight title. Takeshi Konomi mentioned in an interview that he had originally not been sure who would be in the finals between Nagoya Seitoku and Rikkai, but he ultimately decided on Rikkai because he felt they were more interesting.
