Brendan Riley
Varsity Head Football Coach

Coach Riley has been at the helm of Parkside Football Program for the past 16 years as the Head Coach of Parkside High School. He served his first two years as the Offensive Coordinator/Offensive line Coach. 
Throughout his time with the Ramfam the concept of Family and Legacy have been extremely important to him. Not every student athlete is going to be professional and we will push for excellence to exist. There are a multitude of goals of this program. We have a desire to carry on the traditions of excellence that have been established as a consistent measure of the RAMFAM community. Each student athlete is pushed and Coach believes that with that togetherness of the RAMFAM-excellence will exist.

Moving forward is a major push for the Program. Striving to Move in the a direction that appreciates each member of the team and community. 

"Kids/Families that are 100% in -ALL IN-and running forward with them in their classes, workouts and preparation. We will Chase Greatness as a team and staff but ultimately our Goal is to produce better citizens who are going to make a positive impact on their society/communities wherever them end up living and growing their own families." 

The Parkside Football program is well respected as a result of so many people but most importantly the Kids that have been dedicated to building success and being the leaders that they have and are becoming. We use the word Love around this program a lot. We love our kids and we want what is best for them because this time we have together is short.
