Haikyuu!! Headcanons

[Request] Second Sport - Nekoma + Aoba Johsai Part

Requested by: ACNathan

What would characters from Karasuno, Nekoma and Aoba Johsai (ok really just iwaizumi and oikawa) do as a second sport?

So, I did a little research and I have only included sports that I have found to be ran at schools in Japan. And please note, the sports anime I have seen are Haikyuu (obviously), Free!, Kuroko no Basket, Yowamushi Pedal and Prince of Stride so it'll mostly be those sports (besides Stride since, that's fictional).

Nekoma

Kuroo - I once saw this fanart of Kuroo playing basketball and ever since then I've wanted him doing basketball, so it would be his second sport. His position would be small forward, like Kise and Haizaki. I mentioned them two because they both are good at copying other moves, and on Kuroo's wikia page it says he used to mimic professional volleyball plays he saw in matches. 

Yaku - I was going to say swimming for Yaku, but I decided to chose cycling to keep with the Karasuno Nekoma rivalry / friendship thing. Noya is a sprinter, so I think Yaku would also be a sprinter. If there were two sprinters on Yaku's team, and they were going for the sprint check point, I'd say he would be the one out of the two to take it (like Naruko and Tadokoro will both go for the check point, one pulling and the other saving energy to take the check point). 

Yamamoto - Again, rivalries / friendships, so Yamamoto would do basketball and would also be a power forward. I didn't just choose this one to keep with the rivalry / friendship, though, it was also because they are quite similar in personality, that it would work for Yamamoto. I think Yamamoto would have a harder time getting into the zone, though. 

Kenma - Because Kuroo got Kenma into volleyball, it's only fair to say that Kuroo would get Kenma into basketball. Although Kenma, is fairly shorter than most basketball players (he's the same height as Kuroko) I think he'd still be fine. Since he has a good game sense and pays attention to his surrounding, his position would be point guard.

Lev - Yes, Lev is tall and perfect for basketball, but I honestly cannot see him playing it. I'd say his second sport would be swimming and he's mostly focus on freestyle and butterfly (even if he did find butterfly difficult at first). I feel like Lev didn't know how to swim before joining the club, but he isn't afraid of the water (*cough*like Kuroo*cough*), he just never learnt.

Aoba Johsai

Oikawa - As much as I'd like to see Oikawa shirtless and swimming, I'd say his second sport would be basketball. And yes, he is basically volleyball Kise, I don't think Oikawa would be a small forward. We all know Oikawa has a good game sense and stuff, so he'd be a point guard. (A/N: I keep on unintentionally making to setters basketball PGs....) 

Iwaizumi - As much as I'd like to see Iwaizumi also shirtless and swimming, I'd say he'd also be a basketball player. And he is basically volleyball Kasamatsu, but I don't see Iwaizumi as a point guard. He's an ace, he's skilled, I'd say he would be a small forward (or possibly a power forward...?). 

(A/N: Sorry, I missed a few people out from Nekoma and the rest of Aoba Johsai... but again, I hope this is alright. And, I don't have much time to reread this for mistakes, so I'm sorry if there is any!)
