The "pitch" is over as soon as it is touched by the catcher (after crossing the foul lines); touches the batter; is contacted by the bat; enters dead ball territory; or comes to rest.
However, don't confuse this with "time of pitch" which is really what determines the position of runners in youth leagues with a rule such as yours.
Time can be requested by any member of either team. The umpire can grant time (or refuse to do so) as long as there is no continuing action at the time.
