Lol.
He in the army now, ooooowwoooooowww he in the army,
now.
If some of them is competing for CSKA sport club - I understand. CSKA athletes have officer ranks and even are getting paid monthly salaries according to their military ranks. They can quit their sport career after age of 30 and be eligible for cushy military pension. They also have a right to train in any CSKA facility across the country. Every little city had some sort of CSKA gym, athletic field, small stadium, some primitive ice rink. So it's convenient. They also have the best facilities and medical stuff. CSKA facilities usually not accessible for public and even for low-level military, just mid-level and top ranks of officers, who supposed to keep themself in shape (some new rules in Russian military), come in late in the evening after work, mostly to work with weights or run in the gym.
Athletes loves CSKA facilities, they are always in top shape and meticulously well maintained and they are free of charge available 24/7 (mostly). Soloviev (as in B/S ice dance) took an oath few years ago as well.
So I guess the youngsters are just going into some sort of short term training, a week long camp. They will be back in a 2 weeks or so.
They probably learn general stuff like how to recognize military ranks, how to make their beds, salute and greet other officers, learn about ceremonial protocols and dress code on official events, like receiving state awards ceremonies or behaving at officers' balls (balls like a annual dance nights for officers and their ladies ) and probably other boyscout stuff.
Here in US we call it: ROTC. We have a lot of basic military skills training in almost every university. Usually not too popular among young university students. Depends on the state and the city..
