Timothy,
My daughter has cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair. When she was in grade school and all the other kids were playing soccer, I set her up with the coach to serve as a kind of "team trainer." She was responsible for keeping the stats, keeping track of uniforms and equipment, and so on. She hated it! GRIN She couldn't figure out why she needed to be out there in the hot sun when she couldn't run up and down the sidelines with the rest of 'em! I am glad your story had a happier ending.
