I do three sports as well.

It took my wife and I some time to adjust but our "rules" seem to work pretty good right now. It was rough in the beginning, I was already an official when we met, and she did not understand the time and commitment that we make. Now she knows, and is pretty supportive of everything.

1) I limit my schedule to 2 games a week, unless she tells me to pick up more games. This way there is room to scheudle other things during the week, if we have nothing going on, I'll pick stuff up.

2) Saturdays are off limits except in September, January, and May. These are the three big months for my sports.

3) This is an unofficial rule, but after each season we take a trip. After Vball, and Bball it is a long weekend. After track it is a 10 day trip. This is a good way to spend some of those hard earned game checks, and recharge for the next season.

We don't have kids yet, but I think we have set up a good system.
