Satria Muda Pertamina continues to strive to be consistent in developing the basketball industry both on and off the field. If on the field SM directly contributes as a player and official for the Indonesian National Team, off the field the team that is identical with the color blue also always includes a coaching agenda for both staff and children with young age groups.
This season alone, Satria Muda Pertamina has been recorded as having conducted more than eight coaching clinics in various cities in Indonesia such as Solo, Semarang, Bogor to Yogyakarta. This training agenda is also not only about basketball skills but also includes things that can support the basketball industry itself, one of which is photography.
"Because I feel that basketball always has its own challenges every year, this year we have to play with a home and away format. Of course one of the goals is to build a spectator base in each city, well I see one way for people to start liking basketball is through photography. Because after the pandemic, interest in photographing sports has grown rapidly and it is proven that the Satria Muda photography workshop that we held with the help of Canon is always very enthusiastic," said Fernando, a photographer for the Satria Muda team.
"Our people are used to seeing good visuals first before coming, that's why we always provide practice in every photography workshop. So besides participants being able to experience photographing SM directly, they will definitely upload it on their respective social media. Many people see it and are finally curious, and finally come to watch the match itself," he added.
In terms of basketball skills, SM is also committed to not only cities in Java getting the opportunity, that's why this year their coaching clinic also stopped by Medan, North Sumatra.
And one of the Satria Muda Pertamina players who was involved in more than one city was Antoni Erga. This player from Bangka always seemed enthusiastic in sharing his experiences about this sport that entered Indonesia in the 1920s with the participants, the majority of whom were children to teenagers.
"Because I think the ability to share knowledge is very important for the next generations so that they always have an idea about the right training which of course leads to increasing their abilities, both in technique and IQ," said Erga.
In addition, the owner of number 3 in SM also hopes that this series of training activities can be more comprehensive to other cities in Indonesia. Because according to him, cities in Sulawesi and Papua also have a great passion for basketball.
"What is certain is that the impact will be very noticeable if training like this is routinely held by SM and anyone, both individuals and basketball organizations in provinces outside Java. Because I am sure there are many young people out there who can and are able to become the backbone of the next basketball for Indonesia," he concluded.
