cerebral palsy can be so variable that without knowing the details of his particular cp involvement it would not be possible for me to offer you a specific answer but generally a teenager with cp can play sports. i admire you for being concerned and cooperative. it was be best for his medical provider to sign a medical clearance -- someone who knows his case. many kids with cp perhaps because of the muscle involvement with this disorder may become more fatigued. if he has some underlying respiratory or cardiac problem then this will need to be evaluated by his medical provider before clearing him for sports participation. kids with cp should be supported and encourage to do many activities so if he can make the team i don't think you will need to worry about his safety any more than the other kids.
is it safe to allow a tennager who has cerebral palsy to play basketball? . i coach a basketball team for high school aged kids and one of my players has cerebral palsy. he played on the team last year but we were very concerned about his condition and his safety but his parents seemed to have no problem with him playing. my coaching staff and i were very concerned about how safe it would be to allow him to play again this year as last yer he could not stay on the court very long without looking very exhausted. is it safe to continue to let him play?
