Corey Reich Tennis Center

Is OPEN!

In January 2019, in partnership with the City of Piedmont, Piedmont Recreational Facilities Organization (PRFO), envisioned a fundraising campaign for the renovation of the Recreation Center tennis courts and its renaming as the Corey Reich Tennis Center in honor of decorated Piedmont High School tennis coach Corey Reich. Thanks to the hard work of numerous volunteers and the generous donations of many community members, over $450,000 was raised!

Corey Reich

A 2004 graduate of Piedmont High and member of the men’s tennis team, Corey was diagnosed with ALS in 2007 while attending Middlebury College. After graduation, he returned to Piedmont and has served as assistant coach of the men’s and women’s tennis teams ever since. Corey is a powerful and inspirational coaching presence every day of these teams’ seasons, and has been instrumental in the continued success of the PHS tennis program, the most successful in school history.

Rohan Srivastava, PHS Class of 2018 and former PHS boys’ tennis team captain, spoke about Corey at the CRTC launch event on 1/31/19. Read Rohan’s speech here.

Improvements to the courts include:

  • Resurfacing of the courts with a slipsheet overlay system
  • Installation of new net posts and nets
  • Installation of new fencing surrounding the Center
  • Creation of new ball-stop fencing between courts
  • Drainage improvements at the west end of the complex
  • Installation of new bleachers for spectators and tennis court benches for players
  • Installation of new LED lights
  • Installation of a new drinking fountain with water bottle filler
  • Permanent Wall of Champions to recognize winning teams and players from Piedmont High School tennis teams

In partnership with the City and PRFO, the Piedmont Beautification Foundation also plans to support the initiative with a long-term endowment to ensure that the work done now is maintained for generations.

Court renovations are scheduled for May-July, 2019, with additional enhancements in 2020.

Thanks to PRFO, the City of Piedmont, the Piedmont Beautification Foundation and CRTC committee members Andy Filler, Leila Kasrovi, Betsy Lalli, Barbara Love, Melanie Marcus, Wendy, Ted and Corey Reich, Neil Rothenberg, and Bernie Yu, for their help in initiating this effort.
