What are our current core major sports we do ?
Is it still 7 sports?
Athletics, Cross Country, Football, Hockey, Netball, Rugby, and Swimming.
Anyone heard if we can play crab football yet 
That depends which Region you’re in 
i thought they stopped rugby
Any of those sports are as safe as you make it, I personally disagree with swimming, yes it is a “life-skill” however from a ACP 4 point of view, it is very difficult to manage and costly too. I also find it bonkers that badminton isn’t a listed/allowed sport but Athletics involving javelin and shot put where the cadets have had about as much training as the staff (i.e. non) is ok.
Javelin and shot, they just stand at the line and chuck it as far as they can, don’t recall any run-ups or them spinning 
I did enjoy badminton at school, but I can’t see how that’s not allowed. Same with basketball, and I’m sure we have a post about these questions somewhere else. *Dons flak jacket
My understanding was that those seven listed are just the “competitive” ones we do, not the ONLY sports we can do.
I don’t think anyone is going to stop you doing badminton as long as it’s properly risk assessed etc.
