Is it ok for a youth basketball coach give the players a ride from home to practice, with parents consent?

I'm a woman and a recreational basketball coach for girls in 5th and 6th grade. One of the girls cannot make it to practice because the parent leaves work late and cannot make it in time. I offered the parent to give the girl a ride from home to the gym. The parent will pick her up there. Is this ethical? Or is there a teacher/student line that shouldn't be crossed?Is it ok for a youth basketball coach give the players a ride from home to practice, with parents consent?
with parents consent yes, i coach a middle school boys team and parents ask us if we can give rides to and from practice daily, not a big deal, i didnt have a back ground check my first year, now im a employee of the school system and do but even before we gave rides with parental consent. my coaches often gave us rides to and from practice. if i were you i would just make a consent form and ask the parents to sign it and then no problem. its an incredible help to parents and players when their coaches of do this for them so they should be thankful they have a coach who would be willing to do it. the majority of players want to come to practice and the majoirty of parents work.
According to my teacher because we're friends now that I've graduated, you're not allowed to have contact outside of school intentionally however if the parents give consent and it's purely for reasons other than to hang or something than it's fine. My other teacher gave rides to students to games if they needed to attend a certain class. In the U.S., I heard the boundaries between student teacher is a lot more personal and is not frowned upon so I think your fine both ways as long as the parents know.Is it ok for a youth basketball coach give the players a ride from home to practice, with parents consent?
It should be ok. Here in highschool, teachers give rides often. But its usually to more then one player.

But none the less, as long as it is strictly to the gym, it should be fine.

As long at the parents, and more importantly your player, are ok with it, you won't have to worry about it.
Hopefully u do backround check u can't trust everybody in this worldIs it ok for a youth basketball coach give the players a ride from home to practice, with parents consent?
If you live in the ghetto, I wouldn't.
