As long as they keep score they will win at all costs.
I reffed 8th grade girls in our 'state' games in the summer (Prairie Rose Games). After one game two mothers (of the losing team, of course) came up to me and called me an '*******.' So much for the 'spirit' of participation and sportsmanship.
I suspect if we let the kids play and left the parents home, that it would truly be more fun for all. One of the problems is the parents doing the coaching. They are all such 'experts' you know!
