You might of pulled a muscle so put some ice on the soreness.
Also try lying down on the floor and put your legs up on a table or sofa, anything like that.
Your muscles are sore probably because you are using muscles you normally do not use. There are many ways to help the pain, one of which you have alread done, soaking in epsom salt. Advil works great, but do not exceed the dosage. Be sure to stretch prior to any activity, and then to do a cool down stretch too. To build up strength in the legs work on squats, and running / jogging.
Volleyball techniques, work on bending your knees and try to jump as tall as you can with your arms as high as you can over your head. This will help with the front line blocking the ball. If you can get a partner, (if not use a wall) and practice setting and bumping the ball back and forth. It conditions the arms to striking the ball.
Have fun. I wish I could have been on my high school volleyball team.. I had asthma back then. I took up martial arts and now no longer have asthma.
