Hi Kelsey,

A bounce pass would be considered an open skill as the performer of the skill has to take into account environmental factors such as the movement of other players - they do not fully choose when the action is executed, it is partly decided by the environment and the team.

I hope this helps!

Thanks,

Lucy
