High school - ditto.
Youth ball - address MUCH earlier, and address via the coach.

I don't do college, so no comment on that, but with high school and any youth of high school age, I have no problem with (and have done in the past) giving a verbal warning to the catcher while in position. It has always worked the times I have done it.
If a catcher younger that HS age has an attitude, this is best dealt with by a coach (or parent).
