Medieval sports consisted of jousting, sword fighting, etc. Modern day sports is more team oriented such as, football, Basketball, etc.
-----
Sports of the Middle Ages included all sorts of things we would recognize today, including various forms of billiards, Bowling, Golf, football, and a number of others. The biggest difference was that the rules were not written down, and sometimes were virtually nonexistent.
One of the forms of football, for example, was sometimes played with no limit to the number of players on either side. It was called mob football, and was often played in the middle of a town, with no apologies to passers by, who might get drafted into the home team, if they were local.
Jousting was done in the Middle Ages, and was more important than the exhibitions we see occasionally today. But that sort of thing was only played by knights, and common people were left out. It was something for the historians to talk about, but quite probably most competitions involved the common folk.

Keyboard music in the middle ages?
AnswerNone. Not invented until much later. Flutes, drums, and string were used. AnswerKeyboard instruments were invented long before the Middle Ages, even before the Roman Empire started, and were in use through the entire medieval period. The earliest true organ was the Greek hydraulis, which existed at least 2300 years ago.During the Middle Ages, the portative organ (imagine an accordion, but with pipes) and the positive organ (church organ) were used.There was not much, if anything, written specifically for keyboard during the Middle Ages, because music was conceived of as being for voices, and the instruments were regarded as types of voices. In fact the idea that purely instrumental music could be played was rather a scandelous novelty when it happened. In the Late Middle Ages, an organist's job included figuring out how to play different voices simultaneously.There are links below.

How do you get to play sports in middle ages?
The formal rules on sports of the middle ages were very scarce. If you were not of the nobility, you could not joust. But if you were qualified for a sport by class and sex, there was nothing prohibiting you from just doing it. An example of a sport, and who could play, is medieval football. One form of this was called "mob football," and the sides were made of whoever wanted to play on that side, without regard to who or even how many there were. I think the only rule might have been where the goals were. There is a link below on Medieval Football.

The people of the Middle Ages played chess because it was a strategic game that required mental skill and thinking. Football, as we know it today, did not exist in the Middle Ages. Sports such as soccer were played during this time, but they were more informal and lacked the organized rules and structure that chess provided.
