From May 9-15May 2025, the Upskill program was implemented, initiated by the Semi-Autonomous Agency (BSO) under the auspices of OSVET. This activity includes regular training for basketball, futsal, dance, band, softball, badminton, volleyball, and table tennis. BSO is a community formed to channel the interests and talents of students of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine (FKH) UGM in the field of sports and arts. The focus of training in each sport is to hone the basic skills of athletes in preparation for various competitions such as PORSENIVET, PORSENIGAMA, and other competitions.

The basketball practice took place on May 9, 2025, at Mecmata Arena Sport with material on the introduction of player positions. The participants learned passing, shooting, and dribbling techniques. Several special exercises, such as triangular passing, one-on-one, right and left layups, as well as improving the form shoot technique through free throws, are the main focus. In addition to training during Upskill, the players also do additional training outside of the Upskill schedule to prepare for other competitions.

Futsal training is scheduled for May 16, 2025, at Telaga Futsal 3. Participants will have specific assignments by position: goalkeepers, who can use their hands in designated areas and may score when the opportunity arises; anchors, who serve as both defenders and attack organizers; flanks, the wingers on the left and right that link the anchor to the attacker; and pivots, the primary attackers responsible for scoring goals. This exercise also teaches basic futsal techniques, including ball control, passing, dribbling, and shooting. In addition, participants also participated in mini-games that divided students into two teams to increase teamwork.

The band’s rehearsal will be held on May 11, 2025, at the Upstairs Studio, Perumnas. The material was carried out to adjust the duties of each band member, such as vocalists practicing their voice, including the length of the pitch, adjusting the pitch of the song, and choosing the improvisation of the song. Musical instrument players (guitarists, drummers, keyboardists, and bassists) will find the strings according to the chosen song and practice their playing to be harmonious. The exercises are documented so that each evaluation can be carried out.

The softball practice will be held on May 13, 2025, at the Lembah UGM Softball Field. The session begins with a warm-up, followed by basic technique training, such as throwing, which is the technique of throwing the ball with accuracy and strength; catching, which is a technique of catching the ball both from the air and the ground; Batting, which is a technique of hitting the ball, starts from holding the baton (grip) and maintaining body balance when preparing to hit (stance) to swinging the baton (swing) with the right accuracy.

OSVET varsity jackets were purchased on May 10, 2025, at Fookin Supply. The purchase of jackets aims to be the identity of the members of OSVET, but it is also allowed for the Keluarga Mahasiswa (KM) FKH UGM. The ordering of varsity jackets is open to all OSVET members first, then opened to all KM FKH UGM members. Varsity jackets can also be used outside of activities organized by the faculty or the university.

This Upskill Program not only enhances athletes’ skills but also supports various Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including: SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being, SDG 4: Quality Education, SDG 5: Gender Equality, SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities, and SDG 16: Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions. Through this program, students are encouraged to adopt a healthy and active lifestyle, develop soft skills such as teamwork, discipline, creativity, and leadership, and engage in equal participation between men and women without discrimination—all while promoting fair and respectful competition.
