I found that the players who were around the age of 12 or so seem to be the ones who stop swarming, to answer your question.
On a side note, I think at this point, I much more enjoy reffing the younger kids (middle school age), because they are willing to learn, and most of the time, not out for blood. I find that the high school kids are very serious, and win-win-win... not a bad attitude necessarily, but it takes a lot of the "fun" out of the game. And they certainly argue more than the MS kids... they seem to want to have fun.
