Over the weekend, Professional Sports Academy (PSA) home to more than 300 passionate young athletes added its voice to the nationwide campaign against illicit drugs.
Dressed in symbolic black t-shirts, the academy’s members gathered at their training ground, Invincible Sports Park in Sinkor, holding banners with the signature message: “Say No to Drugs.” The event served as both a rallying cry and a community awareness effort.
For years, PSA has used sports talent development to steer young people away from substance abuse, replacing destructive habits with discipline, teamwork, and ambition.
Speaking at the event, Ambassador Alioune Kebe, Chief Executive Officer of PSA, cautioned players about the dangers of illicit drugs and urged parents to actively join the fight to safeguard the future of their children.
Some players took part in a dramatic demonstration, acting out the harmful effects of drug use.
Their performances combined with heartfelt appeals encouraged peers to resist drugs and choose a healthier path.
The academy also called on the national government to roll out meaningful anti-drug programs in schools and communities, targeting young people at the grassroots level.PSA pledged its continued support for the campaign, vowing to intensify door-to-door outreach and other community-based initiatives aimed at rescuing vulnerable youths from the streets and empowering them to become responsible citizens and future leaders.
