Shiratorizawa Academy

Shiratorizawa Academy (Japanese: 白鳥沢学園 Shiratorizawa Gakuen) is a high school in Sendai, the capital of Miyagi Prefecture. Since the entrance exam is extremely difficult, most students get accepted by studying hard or through sports scholarships.

Boys' Volleyball Club
The Boys' Volleyball Club is considered a "powerhouse", ranked among the Top 8 of Japan. It has been noted by the captain, Wakatoshi Ushijima, that Shiratorizawa supposedly never weakens no matter what; in accordance with that, Shiratorizawa had been undefeated and the representative for Miyagi Prefecture for generations, only having lost to Karasuno recently. Additionally, Ushijima is one of the three best aces that the whole country has seen and he is currently one of Japan's under-18 (under-19 in the anime) volleyball representatives for the Youth World Championship.

Shiratorizawa, combined with their clean reception and precise sets, is exponentially strengthened with super-ace Ushijima, who tears down the blocks and strategical plays of its adversaries (as seen in the battle against Aoba Johsai in the Interhigh). The team's main strategy is to focus everyone's strength to support Ushijima, hence the reason why it's symbolized by a single eagle; this is unlike Karasuno with its multiple crows as it focuses on teamwork and individual strength.

Shiratorizawa's most notable players are Captain and Ace Ushijima, one of the top 3 aces in the whole nation along with Itachiyama's Sakusa and Mujinazaka's Kiryu, and Blocker Tendo, also known as the "Guess Monster" with Guess Blocks that stops the opponents' spikes no matter where placed.

The team has also defeated Aoba Johsai in the final match of the Miyagi Prefecture Interhigh Preliminaries and advanced to Nationals. The third years of the team had decided against retiring for a chance to compete in the Spring Tournament.

The most well-known generation of Shiratorizawa is the current one, but the most successful one was Ushijima's father's generation. Utsui's generation had a 190 cm ace and had probably won first place in Nationals.

Girls' Volleyball Club
As opposed to the boys' volleyball club, the girls' volleyball club focuses much more on teamwork and strengthening each player with equal chances. They are fierce opponents and are able to adjust to the flow of the match incredibly quickly, as seen when Hina Sasaki begins to mark Mina constantly without giving her an opportunity to score points in their match vs. Jinsoku Hisho.

Notable players of the girls' team are the captain Ensui Haratsuki, the genius setter that coordinates every play both offensively and defensively, and Anari Goshiki with her wide leap spikes.
