Legal nature of the contracton sport practicing

Abstract

Law on sport of the Republic of Serbia has predicted. for the amateur sports competitors, the possibility for concluding the special type of contract, named the contract on sport practicing. This engagement between sportsman and the sports organization through the mentioned agreement is considered as a work outside the employment relationship, and the Law on sport itself prescribed the obligatory elements of this contract. However, beside the significant advantages that this contract brings to the sport, due to various types of contractual possibilities that athletes and sports organizations have in option, the legal nature of the contract on sport practicing is quite unclear and undefined, because the Law on sport defines this contract through three paragraphs in two articles. Due to that, this contract and the possibilities in that respect, opens many questions and requires significant interpretations, which is, from the perspective of the legal theory, a great challenge, but in practice, it can create the great problems due to a lack of the more detailed regulation.
