I believe here in Texas, UIL rules state that a coach may not "coach" an athelete outside of the regular season of said sport. I'm fairly certain that a coach cannot take money from parents in any manner for any reason.

Fact: I know for a fact that as a parent, I cannot have the "basketball team" over to my house for dinner without every player "paying" for the food while he's here. Seriously, each player has to give me like $5 for the food. Before the basketball season started here, we had a coach/parent meeting where we were told all the "rules" about interaction with the players.

My son played Freshman and Sophomore years here, moved back with his mom for Junior year and back here for his Senior season. We've already had an investigation of whether my son was "recruited" back to play varsity for his school. They're pretty serious around here.
