Football Coach in New Jersey Fired for Including Weightlifting in Off-Season Program


In a report by FootballScoop.com via NJ Advance Media, former Park Ridge High School football coach Jim Cleary shared his disappointment in the administration’s decision to not include weightlifting in the off-season workout program. Cleary, who was let go after the season, had hoped to implement a weightlifting program for players not participating in winter sports. He claims the administration stated that pressuring boys to work out was not acceptable and that his expectations were too high for a small Group 1 school. Despite leading the team to a 4-4-1 record in 2024, Cleary was ultimately deemed a better fit for a larger school and let go.

Cleary’s dedication to improving the physical fitness of his players was evident, but the administration did not see eye to eye on the importance of weightlifting in the off-season. The coach’s commitment to the program and desire to better prepare his players for the upcoming season ultimately led to his departure. In light of these events, High School On SI will continue to provide updates on the high school football season, offering live updates, schedules, scores, and comprehensive coverage from the preseason to the state championships. Fans can stay informed by downloading the SBLive Sports app for real-time updates on their favorite teams and top games.
