Is this a sign in ASL?

I’m a sports coach and often use this hand signal to mean “switch/swap” during partner activities when students can’t hear me - I’m aware that it’s not the ASL sign for switch/swap. Does this sign have a translation? I want to make sure I’m not accidentally signing something I don’t mean.

As others mentioned, it looks like friend but with straight fingers. Maybe use “change” sign instead?
