The correct answer is "are playing" because the sentence is referring to two people, Tony and Tobias, who are both participating in the activity of playing volleyball at the club this morning. Since there are multiple subjects involved, the plural form of the verb "to be" (are) is used along with the present participle form of the verb "play" (playing).
