KISL Officials Training Resources
KISL rules require that all persons serving as Referee, Starter, or Stroke & Turn Judge be certified by KISL in that position. To that end, KISL holds a number of officials training clinics at the beginning of each season, and supports a testing facility for those wishing to be certified.
