In accordance with the proviso to Article 11 (2) of the current National Sports Promotion Act, each subparagraph of Article 10-2 of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act exempts school sports teachers, national team players, and professional sports players from part of the qualification test or training course. Until now, there have been many critical thoughts on the scope of some exemptions in the sports instructor qualification system. Therefore, it is necessary to review ambiguous related regulations, such as the basis and criteria for designation of some scope of exemption.
Of course, for this purpose, the re-establishment of the concept of terms under the National Sports Promotion Act should take precedence. Through this, it is necessary to expand the scope of some test exemptions in the qualification test of professional sports instructors pursuant to Article 10-2 of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act. In particular, the law should be revised in the direction of “including those who were more than youth players” by expanding the “national team players” to “national team players, etc.” This is because youth representatives are dispatched to participate in international competitions on behalf of Korea in practice. In addition, it is important to form a consensus with athletes in the field in order to realize the ultimate purpose of the National Sports Promotion Act is to promote national sports and improve the training and quality of sports leaders.
In addition, there are no clear standards or grounds for designation in the laws and regulations regarding the designation criteria for professional sports players. In other words, the designation of a professional sports organization designated by the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism may be designated as an arbitrary interpretation such as excessive political logic, which may lead to misuse of the designated authority.
I think that the understanding and quality of sports culture is most important for qualifications as a sports leader. It is important to fully reflect this in the qualification stage of professional sports instructors and to legalize it so that it can actually play a role in enhancing the professionalism of sports leaders.
