CHENNAI: The Squash Rackets Federation of India (SRFI) on
Saturday felicitated its Consultant Coach Maj. S. Maniam
for earning the distinction of being inducted into the Asian
Squash Federation's Hall of Fame.
Maj. Maniam is also currently the ASF's Director of
Coaching. He, along with the ASF Director of Referees
Munir Shah of Singapore, are the first two to be
inducted into the Hall of Fame after this was instituted.
 Mr
N Ramachandran, the current WSF President and also Patron of
ASF, was around to honour Maj. Maniam on his latest
recognition.
A former National champion of Malaysia, Maj. Maniam was also
that country's National coach for 10 years from 1986, a
period when a champion talent like Nicol David was
unearthed.
He has been the ASF Director of Coaching since 1986 and over
the years conducted over 100 level I, level II and level III
coaching courses in various parts of Asia.
Maj. Maniam has been associated with Indian squash for over
a decade now and he has played a major role in changing the
squash scene in the country.
Mr Ramachandran in his appreciation said: “He is a fantastic
worker and leaves no stone unturned in his quest for
professionalism, both on and off the court.”
