Until you actually follow the advice given to you, there is no way of knowing what your schedule will look like. Also understand that this is probably just one person's opinion. It does not mean that you cannot get more games if you are willing to do some extra things like travel further away or working multiple games on a single day. I really think this is something that is more of a case by case basis. Until you actually contact the schools you have no idea what is possible. Also I am sure there are officials that can help you out in contacting those schools and getting more opportunities that you never would think of on your own. Also do not limit your games to just HS games. If I were you I would continue to work the same youth ball that you had previously worked. After all officiating is ultimately about reps and seeing things over and over again. I would continue to work all levels until you get to a point where you can dictate some of your schedule or you are receiving higher level games. When I was just staring out I worked any game I could get my hands on. That also helped me decide what I wanted to do more of in the future.

Peace
