TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – A Florida high school senior is threatening to sue her school district after she failed to make the varsity cheerleading squad.

Leon High School Principal Billy Epting is “reviewing the various information” and is expected to make a decision soon about whether he will bypass the school’s cheerleading tryout process to install a senior on the team who didn’t make the cut, the Tallahassee Democrat reports.

The girl’s parents filed a complaint with the district because of the decision, which cheer coaches contend was based on the student’s poor performance during tryouts. The girl did not make the team last year, and rules prevent her from cheering with the junior varsity girls, according to the news site.

Coaches and some cheerleaders on the award-winning team have vowed to toss in the towel if Epting overrules the selection process.

“There should not be an athlete on the team that doesn’t deserve to be on the team,” head cheer coach Caylen Berry told the Democrat. “A decision like this would question my integrity as a professional. It also questions the entire legitimacy of tryouts and cheerleading as a sport.”

The Leon cheerleading’s open tryouts require students to perform in front of multiple coaches, and Berry said the student who didn’t make the cut fell twice during the same routine. She said the girl ranked too low to make the cut, and wasn’t the only senior in that situation.

Berry said district officials have overruled coaches in the past, at Leon and Montford Middle School, to put girls on the team who were cut during tryouts.

“It’s just a thing the district does and thinks is okay,” she told the news site. “I don’t know why the district feels the need to go behind the back of the coaches and the school.”

According to Teen Vouge, “Leon High School has one seriously accomplished cheer team and so their standards are understandably high – in fact, they’ll be the first local team to compete in the National High School Cheerleading Championship in Orlando, Florida, in February.”

WGN reports that last year, Berry’s first year coaching the Leon squad, the team was a state runner-up in the large non-tumbling division.

The student’s name was not published my news sites.

District spokesman Chris Petley told the Democrat they were “made aware of a parent’s complaint” which they “forwarded … back to Leon High School.”

Petley said officials expect to make a decision about the student this week.

Epting, however, told the news site that his decision, initially expected Monday, may not come for weeks.

Regardless, Teen Vouge reports it’s not the first time parents have threatened to sue schools when their children didn’t make the team.

According to the site:

Back in 2003, a Los Angeles mom sued after her daughter didn’t make the cheerleading squad at Quartz Hill High School. And while this was a slightly different case, a Medina High School basketball player in Ohio sued after he was cut from the team, which he claims is because he complained on social media about not getting enough playing time.
