You will want wear court shoes/sneakers with athletic socks, a comfortable T-shirt, athletic shorts, and volleyball knee pads (knee pads are not required, but can be useful; especially for new players).

Note on court shoes/sneakers:
Volleyball, basketball, cross-trainers can work, but Not running shoes because they are too prone to rolling when moving laterally. Tennis shoes can work, but they do not absorb shock from jumping.

If possible, do not wear your volleyball shoes outside. Carry them in and put them on when you get  into the gym.
