A number of sports were played in Shakespeare's day, but the only one which gained any notoriety was the game of bowls. This is a kind of Bowling where each player tries to get his ball closest to a target ball called a jack--versions of it are played in many countries including France and Italy. It's famous because it was the game Sir Francis Drake was playing as news was brought to him that the Spanish Armada was coming up the English Channel. This happened when Shakespeare was 14 years old.
