Taping is often used to prevent injury or it can be used to stabilize a current or recovering injury. Most often you will hear of ankle taping, but there are taping methods that can be used on almost very joint.

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.
