A student in southern California is suing his high school after coaches told him he was unable to play baseball due to his inabilities.

The student is deaf and has cerebral palsy. He has been active in the sport of baseball since the age of 9. Last year, he was able to play for the freshman baseball team, but was not allowed to continue his involvement with the sport at a higher level. He said that the junior varsity baseball coaches for the school, Ayala High School, told him he could no longer play on the team strictly because of his disabilities.

The lawsuit that the teenager has filed against the school says that this discrimination is a violation of the Americans With Disabilities Act. He is hopeful that he can receive a court order from a judge stating that he can continue to play baseball at his school.
