A: Anyone can sue anyone for anything. The question is can you win. Here no. They are a private organization with likely no assets. So even if you win, part B of the real question is can you collect if you win? I think the answer to both questions is no. Your kids have no obligation to play softball, and so the selling is not really mandatory. Sometimes you can sue such private associations or the people who run it--for discrimination. But here you say the reason is ticket selling. That's not in a protected class, like race, religion or national origin. So forget about it. Did you ask yourself, by the way, whether the experience of getting out there and working toward a goal would have benefitted them?
