There are only three levels available, categories, subcategories, and galleries. The three levels don't include your site name, so you're really just one short.

Instead of using sports as the category, have you thought about creating a category called Inline Hockey? You could define subcategories within Inline Hockey for each team, and then you could have something like:
>>> Inline Hockey
>>>... Team Zero
.......... Day 1
.......... Day 2
>>>... Team One
.......... Day 1
.......... Day 2

Wally -
You only have 8 categories right now, which I don't think is excessive. Do you shoot more sports than the ones you currently show as categories?

The one suggestion I have is to re-order your categories so that the sports categories are all together as opposed to interspersed with the other categories. If you put them all into a sports category then you will be back to the problem of organizing them within sports. Again, you only have 3 levels available to you, category >>> subcategory >>> gallery. At the present time I only have subcategories in my Travel category, and they work quite well for me.

Would you prefer to have the categories shown across the screen (4 across, that is) instead of down? There are instructions in the Advanced Customization FAQ to do that - see the answer to question 10 in http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=52811.

I have done that on my site, but the galleries page that displays from my navbar is an HTML-only page that I built to show larger thumbs for my categories.

Just so you can see an example of the 4-across galleries, look at this page:
http://www.denisegoldberg.com/galleries

The page that I use as my "Gallery" page from my navbar is this one:
http://www.denisegoldberg.com/gallery/3242019.

There is another option if you want to build your own page. Allen has built an example of how to build your own links page. It's similar to my Gallery page in that it is an html-only page. See his instructions at http://allen-steve.smugmug.com/gallery/3539056.

Unfortunately the thumb sizes can't be changed. The thumbs are 150x150 if there are 5 or fewer galleries and 100x100 if there are more than 5 galleries (or categories). I did put a feature request in a while back for bigger thumbs, you might want to do the same (feature request thread is at http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=71342).

But the small thumbs are really the reason why I use an html-only page for my Gallery page - so I could build an entry point to my galleries with bigger thumbs. I thought about taking it down to the next level too, but I decided it was too much to maintain. Since I don't often add a new category, I felt that maintaining my gallery page was reasonable.
