JUNIOR sporting clubs are being forced to introduce codes of conduct for parents to stamp out foul behaviour like "obscene language" or "scolding a child for making a mistake".
Spectators are also told that drinking alcohol on the sidelines is banned and there is a zero tolerance to violence.
Football West – which looks after junior soccer – has even banned national flags and "inappropriate banners, whether written in English or a foreign language" as part of their rules for parents.
Junior Australian rules clubs across WA have been asked to put up a poster reminding parents that coaches are volunteers and umpires are human.
"There is international research that suggests kids do get turned off sport due to over-enthusiastic parents, so it is important for all parents to be aware that their actions and behaviours do impact on a child's willingness to be involved or engaged in sport,'' Mr Tuohey said.
The WA Rugby League has implemented a code of conduct for parents and spectators that forbids complaining or arguing about referee decisions during or after a game.
It warns "unsportsmanlike language, harassment or aggressive behaviour will not be tolerated''.
The sport has introduced the Tough Love in League policy to curb violence in junior games, on field and on the sidelines, which means a spectator who enters the game's playing area "with intent'' would be banned from attending any other junior games for a month and may be fined.
WARL operations manager Murray Newham said they were trying to stamp out bad behaviour completely.
Football West chief executive Peter Hugg said "massive improvements'' had been made in parental behaviour after a Spectator Code of Behaviour was rolled out to clubs.
The code of behaviour condemns violence, racism and ridicule.
WA Cricket Association metropolitan field manager Alan Singer said there were a lot more people coming into the sport from "diverse backgrounds" that don't understand the "spirit of cricket".
Mr Singer said sledging could be common in cricket, so coaches had to educate parents and players that it was not acceptable.

SIGNS KEEPING IDIOTS ON SIDE AT GAMES
SOMETIMES you just need a "no-idiots'' policy.
South Perth Lions junior rugby league president James "Sully'' Sullivan, who was named National Rugby League Volunteer of the Year in 2012, has created signs to put up at games to remind parents how to act.
The signs read: "Please remember: these are our kids, this is our game, the referees are human.''
"We'll have a sign at each ground,'' he told The Sunday Times.
"Sometimes people get a bit silly, but at least they will see it when they're walking into the ground and it's a bit of a check.
"Instead of us having to go to them and say something, they'll walk in and be aware.''
The Thornlie father has been involved with the team his three sons play in for six years. He currently coaches the under-11s at the club.
"You've got to have a no-idiots policy,'' Mr Sullivan said.
"Some parents have never played the sport and you do get the odd one who lives through the eyes of their children.
"At the end of the day, they're our kids, let's just enjoy the game.''
