Both dramas are about a sports club making a come back. (Baseball for Rookies; Rythmic Gymnastics for Tumbling) Plus, there are the required cute Yankees. xD Rookies has a teacher that is the influence to change while Tumbling is more of a combined effort. You can't help cheering both teams on and desperately hope they reach their dreams.
I automatically think of tumbling when I think of Rookies and vice versa. All trouble boys learning a sport together. They learn to build a friendship with their members and learn to love the sport.

Though quite different, as Gakko ja Oshierarenai! handles with various problems Tumbling does to but quite different ones. They feel very alike as both tell the story of teenagers of whom people have low expectations or who are outsiders try their best is their club activities and eventually prove that hard work pays off. Both are typical Japanese "Gambarou!" series.
Both shows about those who haven't found there places yet- often looked upon badly because of their appearance or pasts..
In both shows the male lead is influenced by his feelings toward a girl to take something he'd dismissed before more seriously. In "Tumbling" the story focuses predominantly on the friendship between the team members while "Pin to Kona" is more romance-centric. The tone of both shows is also similar.
