So if they fall they won't scrape their knees.

No. Height gives you an advantage in volleyball since, if you are positioned at the net, you will be better able to spike the ball (that is, to hit it so that it moves downwards rather than upwards, making it tremendously harder to intercept). However, shorter people can still play volleyball, much as they can still play basketball. It may be harder to do, but certainly not impossible.
