We had a similar thing a few years ago. We had a wheelchair ball-boy. He'd bring the balls to our U on the field. We asked him (and the coach) to remain well behind the team box and to remain especially vigilant. Fortunately nobody got hurt.
But like JRutledge said, there was no way we were going to deny this. We gently reminded the coach that since there was no padding on the chair, it was dangerous. I don't know what would have happened if a player had gotten hurt if he had hit the chair. In this lawsuit happy society, we can't win--sued under the ADA or sued for putting the players in danger.
Next thing we'll see is for players to be allowed in wheelchairs.
