If you are truly an independent contractor, then work the levels that make you happy. Of course you need the practice, but all levels do not give you the same level of practice. MS games can be very frustrating when you keep seeing the same teams over and over again. Actually that is the case at all levels. You do not have to work MS games to get better. The only thing you need to do is work and watch other officials at higher levels work. I know many officials that barely work any of these games and they do fine. At least here there is enough summer ball, AAU ball and any other organized league to avoid working MS ball altogether.
