No.
Grass can grow in shaded canopy.
Provided it has everything it requires, Co2, water, fertilizer, lack of direct sunlight will hinder or stunt growth, but might not necessarily kill it.
Your success will depend on the genetics, and strain/lineage of your grass.
If you completely block sunlight then your grass will die.
If your grass gets partial sunlight then chances are it will survive.
If your balls itch, scratch them.
