Woman Playing Handball Emoji 🤾‍♀️

What 🤾‍♀️ means

Feet slightly folded and swept off the ground, this woman swings a ball in one hand for a 'smash', shown full body, with her other arm held high.

The 🤾‍♀️ Woman Playing Handball emoji signifies both indoor and outdoor handball. However, this emoji can also suggest moves in other sports such as slam dunk in basketball and a smash in throwball.

It is available in the designated skin tones on almost all platforms.

How and when to use it

If you're a pro handball player, on any platform (local or global), you can use 🤾‍♀️ in your social media profile name.
🤾‍♀️ can also be used in contexts of an accomplishment. For example, if your favorite song recently topped the global charts, you can use this emoji while posting about it - like "Woohooo! We climbin' up! 🤾‍♀️".
🤾‍♀️ can signify a flying high five too (but with a ball) - like "Ayyy. Its almost like you read my mind! I'mma be at your place in 5 🤾‍♀️".
If you're posting pictures or videos of yourself playing handball or that of a famous game or a live stream from a tournament, you can use 🤾‍♀️ in such post captions.
Do you share regular posts on health, sports, and routine? Then, you can use 🤾‍♀️ in such contexts as well. For example, "A healthy routine is the best medicine 🤾‍♀️". You can also tag other sporty emojis such as 🚴 Cycling, 🏋️‍♀️ Weightlifting, and 🏊 Swimming.
Besides handball, 🤾‍♀️ can also be used to refer to other ball games such as volleyball, throwball, and even basketball (slam dunk).
