LIGHT YOUR FIRE (LYF) – 3-STEP NOTIFICATION & MANDATORY TRAINING PROGRAMME

Date: Sunday, 19 April 2026

Time: 2:00 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. (CET)

• East Africa: 3:00 p.m. – 4:30 p.m.
• West Africa: 12:00 p.m. – 1:30 p.m.
  
  

🔁 3-STEP NOTICE (COMMITMENT SYSTEM)

This letter is part of a clear 3-step system:👉 No one can say: “I didn’t know.”

1. Notice: Early notification
2. 2nd Notice: Reminder
3. 3rd Notice: Final binding request

👉 Any non-participation is a conscious decision.

👥 BINDING PARTICIPANTS

• Denis Mitei (Baseball5-NKA_B Chair / SHG SRB5C Chair)
• Barnaba Kwanjeli (TFC Chair)
• Moses (future EAT Chair)
• Kiza (YETC Chair)

(all NADEUM members and LYF assistant coaches)

⚠️ KEY REQUIREMENT – INTERNET IS MANDATORY

We know there are challenges in Africa:Nevertheless, it is clear:

• limited financial resources
• paid internet slots

👉 It is your own responsibility to organise internet access for this period.

👉 LYF is an absolute priority during this time.

If you cannot log in, this does not mean:

“It wasn’t possible”

But rather:

👉 “I didn’t make it a priority.”

❗ IMPORTANT – SYSTEM CHANGE

• No more Word documents will be created
• All content is available on the LYF website
• Every co-trainer must find their way around the site independently

👉 This is part of your training as a trainer.

🎯 TRAINING OBJECTIVE

• Strengthen personal responsibility
• Ensure independent working
• Clarify understanding of roles (trainer vs. teacher)
• Establish binding implementation within the system
  
  

🧭 DAILY PROGRAMME (1.5 hours)

1. Opening & Clarification (10 minutes)

• Importance of commitment
• Why we are currently going round in circles
• Need for clear implementation

1. Use of the LYF website (15 minutes)

• Access to training content
• Independent navigation
• Expectations of assistant coaches

1. Coach vs. teacher (20 minutes)

• Difference in responsibility and role
• Why LYF is not a school system
• Expected behaviour of a trainer

1. Business plans – status (15 minutes)

• Outstanding issues
• Missing submissions
• Clear next steps

1. Feedback from co-trainers (20 minutes)

👉 Everyone reports on:

• training sessions conducted
• experiences
• challenges
  
  

So far: complete silence.

This is unacceptable.👉 Without active participation, LYF is ineffective.

1. Understanding the LYF system (10 minutes)

• LYF is not passive learning
• Participants work independently
• Coaches guide, monitor and challenge

1. Conclusion & Mandatory Rules (10 minutes)
   
   

⚠️ CLEAR RULES (NO EXCEPTIONS)

• Participation is mandatory
• No participation = exclusion
• No feedback = no progress
• No exercises = no certificate
  
  

🔥 IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION

We understand:

👉 This change is new for everyone

But:

👉 That is precisely the learning process

👉 That is precisely what training is

Without: LYF becomes:

• Feedback
• Written exercises
• Active implementation

❌ No training

❌ no progress

❌ no system

but only:

👉 an endless cycle with no results

🚨 CONCLUSION

If these rules are not followed:

👉 LYF will not last 6 months

👉 but over 1 year or longer

That is not acceptable.

Every participant now decides for themselves:

👉 to be part of the system or

👉 to stand outside it
