Maybe get a pair that is not too heavy, also get a straps or sth similar so that it won't fly off. You may feel a bit uncomfortable at first but should get used to it relatively easily
Lots of friends are playing competitively with glasses. You just need to make sure they do not fall of your nose. I have never heard one of them complain about it.
I think there is glass that is break resistant. Saw few of my friend had it, falling few times but didnt break at all. I ask him, is it ok? He said its fine, its not a regular glass. Other friend, i saw him strapping his glass so it didnt fall.
I wear glasses every day. But I use contacts for sports. My glasses are quite loose on the nose and when you add some sweat as well, then it's pure torture to play. Especially when you're jumping and glasses flapping on the nose and you see sh..t And of course contacts are better for wide angle vision. You eliminate some extra head movements to the sides, because glasses never cover the whole field of vision.
I had mixed feelings with contacts. Everyone react differently to it. If I play 2 to 3 hours it's fine. For long days during tournaments when I wake up very early and stay up playing until late afternoon it's uncomfortable on the eyes. I decided to stick with glasses on the end and honestly it's not hindering my performances at all. It's even more comfortable to my eyes than contacts. Try both and choose what you feel the most comfortable with. Either way it shouldn't be a problem.

If you have significantly poor eyesight (I would say +/-1.50 or worse), then using any form of sight correction will give you better performance than going without, even if it's really uncomfortable or gives you a 'blind spots' due to frames. It's amazing how quick your brain can adjust to blind spots (you never consciously notice your nose getting in the way even though it's always there, for example), but your brain cannot compensate for detail that never existed to begin with.
I have tried contact lenses in the past, however as my sight problem is purely astigmatism, any rotation of the lens means I totally lose focus. I bought glasses with a super lightweight titanium frame and hardly notice the glasses.
Modern high-end glasses are of course not made of actual glass, but very strong and flexible compounds. They don't shatter or scratch when falling on the floor. Ask your optician for details. The glasses can be a little bit more expensive – the lenses alone cost like 80€ – but they are definitely worth it. But they should not fall down or move anyways. Some people use bands to affix their glasses, but I can heartily recommend sports temple tips, which wrap 180° around your ear: These cost like 5€; some opticians even offer it as a free upgrade. No amount of running or badminton will dislodge glasses with sports temple tips. During a headstand, they will move slightly, but you will still be able to see and they won't fall off. As somebody who is almost blind without glasses, I've worn these my whole life, all the time. Frankly, I have no idea why anyone, let alone a large majority, opts for "standard" on-top-of-ear temple tips. (The answer is probably fashion. Sports temple tips used to be marketed as child temples.)
I'm wearing glasses too, many people in my club wear their glasses during matches, even the young and fast ones. If you don't own glasses yet, and if it is in budget, then I would look for a light,flexible frames (e.g. titanium), good nose pads (depends on how much you sweat) and light plastic eyeglass lenses
I'm not sure i'm finding anything like that on google images Also, it looks like 'temples' are a part of the glasses, rather than an attachment. Temples are the 'arms' of the glasses. See '1' below. "temples" So maybe there's another term that would pick up what you are talking about?
...your google search shows sports temples on pictures 2, 6, and 13! Sports temples come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Temples are the arms of the glasses, and sports temples are therefore arms of the glasses suitable for sport - whether that is achieved via an attachment, by changing the whole arm, or by changing the whole glasses construction, it would make them suitable for sports. Similarly, my stringing machine has "badminton clamps" - these can be flying clamps or fixed clamps and they come in all shapes and sizes. They are part of the machine which was actually built for tennis, and the 'badminton clamps' can be a retrofit (attachment), a substitute part, or indeed, the whole machine might be replaced to allow the machine to function as a 'badminton stringing machine', specialised for badminton and not designed for tennis at all. Can be fun mincing words apart, especially when English allows for so many ridiculous uses of various words/sentence constructions.
Oh, I'm sorry: You're looking for sport temple tips. Apparently, the elegant one pieces that are permanently affixed to the glasses (like the one I posted a picture of, and the ones I have experience with) are some kind of German specialty, and the rest of the world attaches hooks to the existing temple tips. I don't have any experience with the latter kind, but I presume they would work too.
