It's not electical tape, it's a medical tape designed to restrict joints movement to certain axes, or reinforce certain joints. It's also sometimes used on fingers as a way of reinforcing fingers that are still recovering from being dislocated (from meeting an incoming ball with the tip of the finger) by binding the finger to another finger.

Are volleyball players covering up something with tape?

Players might be using tape to cover their jewelry rather than take it off. So they may have tape on their ears of fingers. Players also use tape on their fingers. They may have an injury, or may be using the tape for additional support. Fingertips take a beating in volleyball, so many players tape their fingertips. This also helps when they are sliding on the floor to pancake the ball. Players might be using tape to cover their jewelry rather than take it off. So they may have tape on their ears of fingers.
