Because they're not special needs in the way someone might typically think of special needs. The school is not for kids with *mental* disabilities, it's for kids with *learning* disabilities.
While I fully agree that this was completely in bad taste, the whole thing seems like a ridiculous story that has only caught fire due to people thinking this coach is a heartless bastard who took advantage of a bunch of kids that may be autistic or with another mental disability.
They only have 20 girls in the entire school. Not really the biggest pool to select players from.
