If you weren't prepared to honor "no" as her answer, you should not ask her a "yes" or "no" question.

Makes sense. If you two were on better terms, you might negotiate that a 3rd party coach your son.

My dad learned he can coach without me playing.

You parent S how you like during your time. She parents S how she likes during her time. Try not to see a lack of control over her as a "problem". On your days you may do tackle football, on her days she may have him bake cookies or read books.

If he enjoys playing baseball, why would a weekend off stop him? My son hikes at both houses, cycles at my XW's house, and kayaks at my house. There are "mama" and "dada" activities. There are no conflicts or problems. As coach, you have the benefit of knowing what skills you taught during any days he's not present and may be able to teach him separately.

If you want him to learn and play tackle football on your days, sign him up and have fun! Try not to worry about what she's going to do during her parenting time. That's literally what "her parenting time" means. She chooses what's best for him.
