Welcome to Paul Fiala's Professional Tennis Instruction website.  With over 32 years of teaching experience - but still keeping up with the times - I offer my services to any and all levels and ages of player.  My oldest student is 82; my youngest is 5.  I have an extensive background in the biomechanics of stroke production, sports psychology, and an overall love of the game that shows in every lesson I teach.  I give private, semi-private, and group lessons; and I use state of the art high speed photography to help all the visual learners out there (only around 95% of you!).  I look forward to hearing from you and helping you achieve your tennis improvement goals.
