🏐

Volleyball Emoji 🏐

A round ball with panelled seams, drawn as the indoor kind rather than the leather beach version. Club matches, beach tournaments, and school gym-class posts use it for the sport itself, with barely any figurative use beyond an actual match, a practice, or a tournament bracket someone's tracking.

What 🏐 means

A white ball with fold-like lines throughout the object. The lines seem to be following a circular pattern in groups of three. The 🏐 Volleyball emoji indicates a game of volleyball and other games that are similar to volleyball, or rather variations of the same game.

How and when to use it

If you're sharing a picture of some beach volleyball from your vacation, a meme of a failed volleyball throw, any content referring to any variation of the game, you can use 🏐 in the caption or text message.
In the same framework as 'beach volleyball', use 🏐 to suggest the activity when someone says "And what are we going to do on the beach for so long?".
If you're texting your bestie about how someone seems to be 'out of your league' or vice versa, you can use 🏐 (brownie points if the other person if a volleyball player or a better one than you!).
Also, we all love ranting, don't we? And its all the more better on a textual conversation. So, why not use some creativity to boost the mundane experience? For example, "Guess, WHAT. He dropped the ball, and I aka ME out of all workers in there need to fix his mess! 🏐".

How it looks across platforms

Seeing a blank box instead of the emoji somewhere? Here's why that happens. Curious why the designs above don't match to begin with? Here's why that happens too.
