It's same as in the Philippines. After High School, you go by the years instead of grades. It's 1st year (ichi-nen sei) high schoolers, 2nd yrs (ni-nen sei), and 3rd years (san-nen sei). I found it strange that Americans reached all the way to 12th grade.

Seeing the early episodes, and knowing what this show leads to it really is the best sports anime imo

Quick info: Japanese high schools take 3 years; 10-11-12. In Japanese these are referred to as 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade
