Since you don't have flat feet and are in good shape, I'm sure it's just the sudden increase in activity and the fact that most likely officiating is different than other activity you've been doing.

In addition to resting when you can and stretching, I'd ice your shins every night after games and, while you need to be a bit careful in how much you take, a couple ibuprofen before the games this week may help keep the inflammation down.

Good luck!
