So if they fall they won't scrape their knees.
But they were invented because in 1919 when people(mostly men) jumped to spike the ball, they would scrape their knees against the net.
you have to wear kneepads when you are playing volleyball because the pads protect your knee from breaking and busting when a hard serve is served. The kneepads have a soft little pillow in all kneepads to keep from hurting your knee so you can't play any sports.

Many indoor volleyball players wear kneepads to protect knees when they hit the floor to dig a ball. Professional indoor players will also wear ankle braces to prevent spraining. A frequent injury in volleyball occurs when two players jump up at the net and one twists his or her ankle when landing on the other players' foot. Of course, players should wear loose clothing and no jewelry. Assess players' experience before starting a game.

However, shorter people can still play volleyball, much as they can still play basketball. It may be harder to do, but certainly not impossible.
In volleyball matches, players on the same team must wear jerseys of the same color. This helps distinguish between teams and prevents confusion during the game. If players wear different color jerseys, it can result in penalties or disqualification.
