Storm into that principals office and let him know that you will expose this unfair action if he does not practice equal opportunity and find a womans soccer coach or let these girls continue to play! Call your local media and let them know what is happening. Expose this to as many people in your community as you can. Better yet contact the girls team parents try to get them involved have them storm in with you, heck, take the girls too. Mention Title IX most likely the principal does not know that much about it either, it sounds like there is some kind of clause you could play on in Title IX. Best of luck to you.
