Surface Forms
Morphology
The meaning 'a person who plays the game of volleyball' is directly and transparently built from 'volleyball' (the sport) + 'player' (someone who plays). This noun+player compositional pattern is regular and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Volleyball player comes from two simple words: volleyball, the game where players hit the ball over a net, and player, someone who takes part in a game. So a volleyball player is a person who plays that game, either for fun or as a job.
