Abstract

The Law on Sports of the Republic of Serbia from 2016 foresees two contracts that can be the basis for the engagement of sports professionals – a labour contract and a contract of professional engagement. And while the labour contract is reserved exclusively for situations in which a sports coach is hired by organisations in the area of sports, one of the characteristics of the contract on professional engagement is reflected in the fact that in the role of the other contracting party an athlete can appear. This possibility is given to athletes who intend to hire a coach who is performing professional work in sports independently. Today – when due to pronounced commercialization, the active participation of coaches is a very important factor in achieving significant sports results - contracts of professional engagement concluded between coaches and athletes are gaining more importance. Therefore, the author analyzes certain aspects of this contract in the paper. After the presentation on the specifics that characterize the legal position of an coach who services of professional work in sports perform in an adequate form of entrepreneurship, attention is paid to the very notion of a contract of the professional engagement and its most significant legal features. Аlso, the subject of consideration are the ingredients on which the coach and the athlete must reach agreement in order for the contract to be formed (significant elements of the agreement).
