For the most part it does get better. By the time they are playing V at the HS level everyone has pretty much settled down. You still get an occasional player or dad who is obnoxious but thats more the rarity. My college aged son umps and he pretty much refuses to ump anything under 12u. As he puts it "Dad, the kids are fine, in fact they are fun, its the parents, at this age, who think their son is the next Jeeter who I can't stand."
