If you were focused on bragging than your son is a standout AA player and winning all of the time than it would be a problem but fortunately that isn't you.
Ha, funny. Merely deflecting the parents who say "go play badminton"
What I find strange is that there are a number of parents who are only asking for what other sports work hard to provide - a level playing field that is also safe given the inherent risks of the sport.
Yet there is a contingent here who for some reason thinks that this is an odd thing to expect, fortunately that isn't you.
