I don't know why some people feel the need to bash based on what age level people call. Personally, I have called anywhere from machine pitch to 18u state tournaments. I'd rather stick to 15 and under...mainly because of the attitude of the kids once they get older than that. Our park has one 18 year old team, only because last year they had two and nearly forfeited every game because the kids don't care one way or another. So this year they forced them to carry a full roster of 18 players so they'd have a better chance of playing.

As long as an umpire cares about what kind of job he does and always looks to improve his performance, it shouldn't matter if it's eight year old minors or college ball.
