Catcher movement restrictions

Does the catcher have any restrictions on how far left/right/back/forward he/she can move (without obstructing the batter or just way out there)?

The reason I ask is I've been asked to do some senior league games (16-18) this summer and I have only been doing younger games. When I was playing in this league, an umpire once told me to squat lower and drew lines in the dirt that I couldn't cross going left and right. I am about 6' tall and this ump might have been 5'3". The lines he drew gave me only a few inches of movement left and right also. This didn't seem right to me then or now. Any help would be appreciated
