A badge should mean something

KivaNura badges are inspired by the progression culture of martial arts.

A badge is not a participation token. It recognises a capability that the player has demonstrated.

Assessment first​

New players are assessed and placed at the level that best reflects their current skill. A player does not need to begin at Level 1 if they already demonstrate a higher standard.

Level up when ready​

The next badge is awarded when the player has shown the required development with sufficient consistency.

This makes progression visible without turning development into a race.

Level 10 and graduation​

Level 10 is the final numbered badge. Players who complete the Level 10 graduation standard receive a KivaNura Cricket Academy Graduation Certificate and move into continuous mastery rather than Level 11.

Physical badges and certificates​

We plan to make progression tangible through academy badges and certificates that players can keep, display and celebrate as part of their cricket journey.
