Story by Maureen Fox, TransWeb volunteer reporter 
The Coolibah Fitness Centre hosted the squash venue at the XIth World Transplant Games on Thursday, October 2, 1997. The Collibah Complex is extremely well laid out and management of the 14 courts is under Mr. Frank Mitrovich.  Thirty-five individuals (26 men and 9 women) from 12 different countries competed in a tighly fought competition for medals. 

As with all venues, new friendships were made, and old acquaintances renewed.  It was a good day to be alive.

Venue: Coolibah Squash Centre 

Coolibah is regarded as the best squash centre in Sydney, with 9 courts, spectator facilities, and modern amenities. It is located just ten minutes from Parramatta and 20 minutes from Olympic Park. 

Format: Best of 3 games throughout.

The first round will be played in a "round-robin," where each player in a group plays each other player in the group. Group winners progress to the knock-out stages. In the first round, matches will be played either as one game or the best of 3 games, depending on the number of entries. All games will be played to 9 points, with a tie-break at 8 points each.

In the knock-out stages, all matches will be played as the best of 3 games.
