Varsity HS games are Tuesday and Friday here with a very occasional Saturday game. Jr high plays primarily on Monday and Thursday. Freshman play just about any day of the week; sometimes early before the soph/varsity games on Tues/Fri, sometimes on Monday night and sometimes even on a Saturday morning. About the only night that rarely if ever has games around here is Wednesday. I often work 4 days a week during basketball season. Of course unlike some guys I'll work any level if I'm free; Tues/Friday varsity games are fun and exciting but I enjoy the low key lower level games too. Also there are plenty of guys available to work varsity games around here; the big problem is filling those lower level games because so many guys will only work varsity. How are new guys supposed to learn if they never get a chance to work with veteran officials at the lower level? I'll always work some of those Jr High/Freshman games.
