In an effort to simplify the certification process for Coaches and Umpires, Little Miss Kickball International, Inc (LMKII) has implemented an online testing process to allow each coach and/or umpire to take the certification exam at a time that is convenient to them. As with prior versions of this certification exam, this test is not meant to be comprehensive and as such only covers a subset of key rules from the LMK Rule Book. To be fully prepared as either a coach or umpire, one should READ THE LMK RULE BOOK and understand the rules before taking the certification exam.
