Narrative:

The FAA needs to take action regarding the over-saturation of CTAF frequencies at non-towered airports. I fly in the X area out of ZZZ1 airport; and frequently use ZZZ as a training field; as well as other fields in the area. The CTAF frequencies are grossly over-saturated; and it is unsafe to operate at non-controlled fields; especially on weekends and good weather days. I'm sure the FAA will come up and say there are no frequencies available; but I don't believe this; and the FAA could reassign other frequencies that are assigned to other uses but less used; to the CTAF function. Three or four airports share the same CTAF frequencies; and while flying some patterns I am unable to make one location transmission due to the CTAF being used by multiple pilots at multiple airports at the same time. This will cause an accident; it's just waiting to happen.
