I’d KISS and do the same two things - chicken tenders one night and loaded pasta salad the other (pp has good suggestions)- those were our go-to dinner at the pool meals and they worked well.

When do your kids do HW if they are practicing from 3-10? Most of my teens’ HW is online and the car isn’t a reliable connection.

We do a lot of burritos, turkey subs, calzones. A thermos of pizza poppers. Bento boxes of carrots, grapes, cashews, hummus, pita.

I do loaded pasta salads. All can be made ahead, stored in the fridge for a day or two, and brought along for easy eating on the go.

Orzo with shredded chicken, chickpeas, artichoke hearts, spinach, Parmesan, and a lemon dressing.

Pasta shells with mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, basil, salami, olive oil and balsamic.

Penne with bacon, chopped tomatoes, and lettuce (BLT pasta).

It’s not just sports. It’s scouts, dance, music, etc. it starts in late elementary.
