Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Queen Mode for?
Queen Mode is designed for girls aged 12–17 at different stages of their sporting and personal development.
The age groups are Sparks (12–14) and Stars (15–17).
Does a Queen need to be an elite athlete or have previous experience?
No.
Queen Mode welcomes girls with different abilities, experiences and goals. A Queen can begin at the level suited to her current needs.
What are the pathways?
- Rising
- Development
- Performance
Each pathway provides a different level of training commitment and development.
Every level exists in both Sparks (12–14) and Stars (15–17), creating six distinct squads.
Does age determine squad level?

Is Queen Mode only about sport?
No.
Physical development is one part of the experience.
Confidence, resilience, leadership, discipline, communication and personal development are equally important.
What is Journalling & Reflection?
Every squad uses guided reflection to help Queens recognise achievements, understand challenges, set goals and take ownership of progress. It is a development tool, not therapy.
Do parents participate?
Parents and Guardians are an important part of the Queen Mode community.
Parents receive appropriate information with quarterly progress reports relevant to the squad their child is a part of, and support their Queen’s development while allowing her to develop independence and responsibility.
What should a Queen bring?
Wear the confirmed Queen Mode uniform or suitable training clothing and footwear, bring a resealable drink bottle, and bring a desire to learn, improve, and grow. Additional equipment requirements will be communicated before the session.
What is in the Queen Mode Kit?
The Kit may include Queen Mode apparel, training essentials, a Queen Mode journal and reflection resources, goal-setting resources, program information and recognition items. Final contents and uniform artwork will be published only when supplied and confirmed.
What is the Device-Free Zone?
During device-free training periods, phones, smartwatches and personal devices are silenced and stored as directed. Approved medical, accessibility, safeguarding and emergency exceptions apply.
