Possibly the most important was hunting. This was done by everyone in the upper classes, including women.

Tournaments, including jousts, were important, and were practiced regularly in order to keep people fit for war. The serfs in England were encouraged to carry bows at all times, and were sometimes required to compete in Archery contests on Sundays.

They played polo in those days, I am told.

There were races of various kinds.

Ball games of different kinds were played, of course.

In most places, sports could be played any days but Sunday and Friday. Sunday was for worship, and Friday was a day for fasting.
