Coach In A Wheelchair

[ref18]

We have a coach in a motorized wheelchair who wants to stand on the sidelines with his team. We do not think this is safe for the players officials and the person in the wheelchair for him to be on the sidelines. We have asked him to be at least 15 yards back, he is citing rights of the disabled that he should be allowed on the sidelines like every other coach.

Does anyone know of other wheelchair coaches and if they were allowed on the sidelines to coach. Does anybody think it is not a safety hazard for him to be right on the sideline with the other coaches? There is no way he could get out of the way of other player. Waiting to hear some comments.

Thanks
