The better answer might be to ask "What rule set?"

Rule 4, Section 2 would be the correct answer for ASA. Other rule sets might be different--or be silent on the issue. Also, one might need to check local listings.

If this isn't a regional or national tournament and it's recreation ball I'd say get with the coaches before the game and layout the rules. Talk with the UIC, league rep or tournament director if it's a tourney and figure it out.

What jerk would argue about what this young lady could or couldn't do anyway? Let her play, feel good about it and make sure she has the time of her life.......That's what it's about.

The question posted by IB is:

"What I am looking for is if anyone has ever had or seen a player in a wheelchair play and what rules where in place to acomadate [sic] the player."

Why are folks expressing opinions about how such and thus should be done? He's seeking experienced, first hand information from people in this forum.

To this point, I haven't answered this post because I don't have that first hand knowledge. I've only been forced to because other people can't understand the request.
