What medieval sport was there for children in England?

Answer 1

Aside from running races and such similar sports that have been popular all over the world in all times. Children of England played lawn games, such as varieties of Bowling and lawn billiards; and battledore and shuttlecock, which is rather like Badminton without a net and with a point of keeping the shuttlecock in the air as long as possible. Medieval football came in a variety of forms, and rounders could have been played as early as the Middle Ages. No doubt there were others.

AnswerSchool were not yet created only private tutors for the wealthy. AnswerOne of the really cool things about the Middle Ages is that they were not the way most people think they were. Do a little research and discover a different world!

There were schools in the Middle Ages. The Byzantine Empire had primary schools at the village level, for both boys and girls, from 425 AD until 1453. The Visigoths opened schools in the 6th century, and so did Anglo Saxons. Even the Vikings ran schools, and believe it or not, a couple of the schools they ran are still operating today.

I have seen records of schools, but not of sports in schools. Nevertheless, since medieval people did play sports, it is hard to imagine that people in schools did not. The popular sports of the time included all sorts of races, medieval football, lawn billiards, battledore and shuttlecock (a game reminiscent of badminton), bowling, and others.
