The purposes of this research are: 1) Discovering the effect of using the self-organized learning program, as well as the implemented method of gaining certain essential volleyball skills. 2) Pointing out the differences of the posttests between the experimental group (which is trained according the self-organized learning program), and the control group (which trained according their usual method of developing certain essential volleyball skills). The research sample consists of two groups of 20 students each, which is selected randomly. The first group (A) is the control group, which follows their usual routine in training, and the other group (B) is the experimental group which implemented the self-organized learning method. All research participants are compatible in their physical and skill-related abilities. After performing the statistical processes, the body movement awareness scale was created, as well as a coaching plan according to the self-organized learning method. After implementing this program, the following skills were tested: overhand serving, spiking and blocking, and the body movement awareness was measures as well. After collecting and analyzing the information of this experiment, the following results were considered: 1) The experimental group, which implemented the self-organized learning strategy, performed the tested skills (overhand serving, spiking and blocking) better than the control group, which followed their usual routine in training. 2) The body movement awareness of the participants in the experimental group (which implemented the self-organized learning strategy) was better than that of the participants in the control group.(Published abstract)
