The Manusina 7s will compete in the Final Olympic Qualification Tournament in June, with the winner advancing to the main draw in Tokyo.
But Samoa Rugby Union High Performance Unit General Manager, Seumanu Douglas Ngau Chun, said because the team only plays in tournament per year the staff are only employed on a part-time basis.
"We have about six to eight weeks of preparations and then two weeks of tournaments, so normally we call them in around that time and from there they will start preparing their team.
"Once the campaign ends that's it for them as well."
