NSOs attribute their serious internal structural
problems to obsolete articles in this
legislation and to the consistent failure of the
GSS to clarify a number of pressing issues.
Examples of these issues include first, the
exact role of the government (through the
GSS) and the NSOs in the Hellenic sport
delivery system; second, the priority national
objectives associated with the funding
support of NSOs (e.g. high performance
versus mass participation); third, the role
and responsibilities of the coaches and paid
administrative staff in the NSO internal structure;
and fourth, the full-time participation of
athletes in training.
