Sports Minister Andrew Fraser has said the program would be introduced after a string of confrontations between players, parents and officials, some violent, which marred junior sports events last year.
In an attack which shocked many, two parents attacked a coach when he intervened to protect a teenage referee at an under-10 rugby league game in Logan, south of Brisbane.
The men were banned for life and charged with assault.
In another incident a month later, spectators at Ipswich, west of Brisbane, chased a 15-year-old rugby league referee with steel bars.
Mr Fraser said the program aimed to stamp out such inappropriate behaviour.
"Verbally abusive parents in particular have no place on the sideline of a junior sporting event," he said.
He said the True Sport Lives Here program contained a code of ethics, to be signed by parents, coaches, officials and players.
A red card system would also operate - the same as in soccer games - giving officials permission to yellow or red card people whose behaviour breaks the code of ethics, forcing them to leave the event.
And different uniforms would be worn by learner officials to encourage greater tolerance for the official's experience level.(...)

Goed idee of waar zijn we mee bezig??? Stem hier!
Deze foto's hebben we genomen vanuit de garage, toen we probeerden om het water uit de garage te houden, maar het was letterlijk 'aftrekken met de kraan open'!
Bijgevolg zijn er een aantal dozen die in de garage horen, weer in huis beland en zo blijft een mens bezig natuurlijk!
Gelukkig duiken er hier af en toe leuke beestjes op in onze tuin die onze dagen opvrolijken:
En er zijn al drie nieuwe hoofden in huis:
Filip bezoekt de huiskapper en morgen is het Luna's beurt...
Maar het was in februari en ik zal me dus moeten troosten met de idee dat ik toch niets gezien zou hebben door al het volk. We kunnen maar hopen dat we het ook eens mogen meemaken...
'Sydney was thrown into chaos yesterday as 200,000 spectators scrambled to witness the arrival of the world’s largest passenger ship, the Queen Mary 2, and its sister ship the Queen Elizabeth 2.
In scenes not seen since the Bicentennial celebrations in 1988, thousands of people flocked to the Sydney Harbour foreshores to witness the two giants dock at Circular Quay.
So unprecedented was the interest in the two ships’ arrival that local authorities were caught off their guard and appeared unprepared for the traffic jams and overcrowding of public spaces around the Harbour.
Many were left to vent their frustrations at the Government and local authorities, while Premier Morris Iemma today went as far as apologising for the city’s apparent lack of preparation for such a big event.
The city’s roads and transport infrastructure were put under incredible strain as crowds filled the harbour foreshore disrupting traffic and train and ferry services.
Some drivers were forced to wait for hours in gridlocked traffic both in the city’s CBD and on major arterial roads.
But the congestion of the city is still not over yet, police warn. More traffic chaos is expected tomorrow in anticipation of the expected arrival of US Vice-President Dick Cheyney from 5.30pm tomorrow.'
