A lot of sport's names in Spanish are made out of what we call Anglicism’s. They are phonetic writing of the English word when there isn't a specific word or translation. Some linguists are very conservative about Spanish orthography and phonetics and claim that you should make English words more Spanish-like when translating, but it isn't something everyone agrees with. Volleyball, basketball, football, and many others are Anglicism’s in Spanish, so there isn't a strict rule on how to write it. All of the ones you mentioned would be good to use, but when in doubt, I would say (especially with the "balls" sports) use the English word; you will be understood either way.
