Let's talk strike zone and changes

[Justme]

Are they complaining that your strike zone is too tight?
Or are they complaining about strike zone consistency?

I am new to the world of softball umpiring but I’ve been umpiring baseball for many years. Until this past season it had been many years since I had worked games lower than varsity HS level baseball. During my years of umpiring the ‘older’ kids & adults I developed my strike zone as it is today. This past season I began to do some youth baseball/softball and had to modify my zone slightly for those games. I raised & widened my strike zone for those games only because the younger pitchers couldn’t handle my ‘regular’ strike zone at this point in their careers.
