Neither did my daughter which is actually another indirect benefit to her sports participation. Due to work I was not available for pick her up from school and cart her off to place of sport, so starting at around the age of 10 she learned to navigate public transportation. She had a cell phone (dumb phone just for emergency calls) and a bus pass and was responsible for getting herself to sport, participating in sport, and getting herself home afterwards. She learned to be pretty independent and self-sufficient - and of course learned to get around. As she got older, she encountered classmates who couldn’t even read a bus map, much less navigate the local bus system. She was glad she had learned to get around at a young age.
