The making of an official contract involves a written agreement between the two parties to regulate the game and regulate salaries, facilities, terms and other rights that form the legal relationship between the parties. The absence of a clear agreement is very detrimental to both parties because the agreement is only made orally, agreements made orally have the potential to cause big problems, especially for parties who are negligent with their obligations . The simple contract design designed in this study is specifically applicable to the implementation of local Prestige Match Leagues, not for professional or international leagues, the scope of the local Prestige Match League is at the village or subdistrict level which is local and non-formal.

In addition. Law 11/2022 on Sports is also used as the basis for legal protection for volleyball players in making simple contracts. The existence of a contract design that was created aims to provide legal and official guidelines about the rights and obligations of 2 parties. This will certainly provide a sense of security and provide protection for both parties, the design of a written contract minimizes the occurrence of disputes because it has regulated several things regarding what is agreed and what is agreed by the parties so that it will create structured and professional cooperation in the implementation of the Prestige Match League.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Practice of Volleyball Player Cooperation in Prestige Match League The existence of local level sports competitions such as the Prestige Match League is part of the development of people's social life that develops dynamically. Volleyball players in this realm not only meet the technical needs of the players but also become a strategy from the village to increase the chances of victory in the match that takes place, in fact in the legal context of the implementation of this match leaves serious problems, especially related to the aspect of the agreement as well as the protection and rights of all parties who make an agreement in the agreement of the volleyball player used in the In its implementation, the relationship between volleyball players and the XYZ village is only based on verbal agreements. This agreement is done through informal communication either in person or by telephone, although this practice is considered commonplace and has been going on for many years. From a legal point of view, the absence of an agreement that takes place in writing causes the legal relationship to be weak and does not have an adequate basis for legal protection. Civil law in Indonesia has regulated legal relations involving the exchange of achievements and counter-achievements which must be based on the principles of clarity and good faith. The concept of good faith is regulated in Article 1338 Paragraph 3 of the Civil Code which states that the parties are not only bound by the things regulated in the agreement but also the things that are regulated outside the agreement, namely the value of norms that apply in society and the prevailing legal culture . The principle of good faith is the honest behavior of the parties in carrying out an agreement so that it can prevent losses for the parties bound by an agreement, objective good faith makes a difference in the enforcement of a legal relationship and good faith in terms of the implementation of rights and obligations in a legal relationship . Good faith applies when a legal relationship is enforced, good faith refers to the fact that the behavior of the parties must be in accordance with the general assumptions based on the agreement of the parties not the opinion of one of the parties. Based on Article 1320 of the Civil Code, the legal requirements of the agreement contain several things, including: Journal of Contemporary Business Law & Technology: Cyber Law. Blockchain, and Legal Innovations Volleyball Player Employment Contract Design in the Prestigious Match League Contains the agreement of the parties Contains skills in making alliances There is a certain object There is a halal reason . In civil law, the relationship between the village government and volleyball players in the Prestige Match League is classified as an anonymous agreement. Based on the elements contained in Article 1320, the validity of player rental contracts in the Prestige Match League can be analyzed as follows: Elements of agreement between the parties In this case, the parties agreed to make a cooperation agreement between volleyball players in the Prestige Match League match. This is evidenced by the existence of an agreement that fulfills the elements of will and is legally binding which was previously done orally even though ideally it should be done in writing. Elements of Skill in Making Alliances The parties are legally competent in entering into an agreement because they have met the legally valid age criteria in entering into the agreement. The presence of a specific object The object agreed upon in the agreement is the agreement of cooperation between volleyball players for Prestige Match League matches with certain rewards. There is a halal cause The agreement made by the parties refers to the purpose that does not conflict with law, decency and public order, namely to establish professional cooperation carried out by volleyball players and the village government in the context of local sports competitions . The absence of a written agreement is very risky, if this habit is continued, there will be several consequences that cause various problems such as: The absence of volleyball players within the stipulated time. Player injuries and no liability to reimburse medical expenses. Payments made by the village government are not in accordance with the initial agreement honorarium. Delay in payment of honorarium beyond the agreed time. There is a conflict regarding responsibility for facilities and treatment of players. Some of the possibilities for this conflict provide evidence that if the agreement is only made orally, the aggrieved party will find it difficult to provide evidence related to the other party's obligations because there are no legal documents that can be used as strong evidence in Court. The action taken is contrary to the principle of proof in civil law which emphasizes the importance of written documents as the main evidence regulated in the Civil Procedure Law . The practice of verbal agreements shows the lack of legal literacy among local sports The public does not understand that even though the context is non-formal, any cooperation in the form of services remains in the realm of civil law. Therefore, education about the law for the public is very necessary, especially regarding the importance of written contracts as a basis for clarity and legal protection for the parties. Journal of Contemporary Business Law & Technology: Cyber Law. Blockchain, and Legal Innovations Volleyball Player Employment Contract Design in the Prestigious Match League The importance of understanding the recognition of the status of Prestige Match League volleyball players as job recipients is very necessary so that they get proper legal This is in accordance with the concept of distributive justice which explains that everyone who contributes in the form of services must receive awards and legal protection that is well given. With the analysis carried out, the cooperation agreement for volleyball players of the Prestige Match League that will be created substantially meets the elements of the validity of the agreement based on Article 1320 of the Civil Code, however, the form of agreement made by the parties is still verbal so that it is necessary to change the form from an oral agreement to a written agreement, the urgency of the existence of a written contract is very important, for the reasons : Provide legal certainty Preventing conflict Ensure legal certainty in the event of default Improve the professionalism of the village government Become a formal guideline that can be legally accounted for The urgency of this proposal regarding a written contract is strengthened by Law 11/2022 on sports which emphasizes legal protection for players in both professional and non-professional sports so that the existence of a written contract in the Prestige Match League which is included in the category of non-professional sports reflects respect for player rights and the implementation of sports that are more lawful. Legal Analysis of the Need for Written Contract Design An agreement is the will to agree by two or more people that causes a legal obligation for the parties . The equivalence of the terms contract and agreement according to Abdul R Saliman et al. is that a contract is an event where several people agree to do the things agreed upon and the parties have an obligation to obey them . The agreement creates a legal relationship called an agreement so that it creates rights and obligations for the parties because the contract created is a source of formal law if the contract created is a valid contract. According to Erman R. , a contract is in the form of a written document that contains the agreement of the parties to achieve the goals to be achieved and contains benefits from the parties as well as protection or limitation of responsibility in achieving the goals to be achieved . The existence of this explanation shows that a contract is an indispensable thing because the law contained in the contract is not just rules and principles, but the process of realizing a rule that develops in society that contains all elements that are in accordance with what is agreed. In the implementation of the Prestige Match League, the legal relationship established between the village government and volleyball players can be categorized as an anonymous agreement, an anonymous agreement is an agreement that is not specifically regulated in the Civil Code but is valid and recognized as long as the legal requirements of the agreement are met. The drafting of a written contract is important to create a more structured legal relationship between the player and the XYZ village The existence of a contract design that is formed can help minimize conflicts. Journal of Contemporary Business Law & Technology: Cyber Law. Blockchain, and Legal Innovations Volleyball Player Employment Contract Design in the Prestigious Match League provide guarantees of rights and obligations and provide clarity regarding the responsibilities of the parties. In addition to being guided by Articles 1320 and 1338 of the Civil Code as well as elements of essentialia, naturalia and aksidentalia, aligning contracts with Law 11/2022, especially in Article 21, is very necessary. In this article emphasizes the importance of legal protection and safety for players, in this law it is emphasized that the implementation of sports activities must pay attention to the principles of justice, sportsmanship and professionalism. The design of the volleyball player cooperation contract in the Prestige Match League can be arranged simply and contains the contract structure which is arranged as follows: Contain the contract title Contains the title and contract number. Load the time of making the contract Contains the day, date, month and year of the contract being made. Loading the parties Contains the identities of the parties, namely the employer and the recipient. Loading the object of the agreement In the form of volleyball services in the Prestige Match League. Contains rights and obligations Contains honorariums, facilities, obligations, attendance, prohibitions and other technical matters. Contains injury and liability clauses Contains liability in the event of injury. Contains dispute resolution Contains a dispute resolution clause if a problem occurs. Load the duration of the agreement Contains an explanation of the time of the match and the validity of the agreed Loading the Cover Contains an explanation of the number of agreements made. Loading signatures Contains the signatures of the parties as proof of the occurrence of an agreement and the basis of proof in the event of a dispute . The preparation of the contract design using the above structure will show a commitment to more professional competition governance, especially if this contract can be reapplied by other villages. Later, with the implementation of this contract making, it will give rise to a new culture that is more legally aware in the implementation of competitions carried out locally. The creation of a written contract model does not have to be complex and uses legal language that is difficult to understand, but by using language that is easy to understand by the community so that later it is expected to be more effective and have a good function for the village community. In the process of making contracts in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, the public can ask Journal of Contemporary Business Law & Technology: Cyber Law. Blockchain, and Legal Innovations Volleyball Player Employment Contract Design in the Prestigious Match League for assistance from legal personnel from local universities or legal aid institutions to ensure the suitability of the contract with the applicable legal provisions. Preparation of a Written Contract Model for the Hire of Volleyball Players in Prestige Match Leagues The preparation of a written contract on the cooperative relationship of volleyball players in the Prestige Match League is a strategic step in creating a system for organizing local sports matches that has a clear legal basis, especially legal certainty, justice and equality for the parties to the agreement. The contract created is not only an administrative requirement but also an instrument of legal protection that legally binds the parties. The contract created in this study can be classified as an anonymous agreement which is an agreement that is not contained in the Civil Code but is still valid in the eyes of the law. According to the subject, an anonymous agreement is a form of contract that is not explicitly regulated in the Civil Code but is valid based on the principle of freedom of contract regulated in article 1338 of the Civil Code, freedom of contract is important because it gives the parties the right to form an agreement with the content of the results of a mutual agreement between the parties . This can be understood because proving documents is easier if done in writing than orally. As has been regulated in legal regulations in Indonesia, the contracts made in this study are guided by a systematic and simple structure but have a content that regulates complete legal elements. The following is an example of a simple contract design for volleyball players in the proposed Prestige Match League: VOLLEYBALL PLAYER EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT Number: 01/PKS/X/2025 (Aksidentalia Elemen.
