Abstract: The goal of this study is to research the effects of a 16 weeks anger management training on volleyball playing teenage girls. It is searched that whether The Anger Management Programme (TAMP) is effective on girl players between 16 - 18 ages, prepared according to the principles and methods of the cognitive behavior approach. The research is an experimental study suitable to "pre-test-post-test" modelling with a control group which analyzes whether TAMP reduces the level of anger or not. The pre-test scores of the experimental and control groups are being compared to "t test" and there is not any significant difference. Then, the players in the experimental group were applied a 90 minutes' cognitive behavior approach control programme for 16 weeks. During the implementation of the programme, therapeutics conditions were provided and some cognitive elements like as faith, thought and perception were emphasized. Then breathing exercises and relaxation techniques were practiced and the illogical thinking and beliefs, underlying the anger, were tried to be changed. After the experiment, the control and experimental groups were given State Trait Anger Scale once again. In the group, there are 60 teenage girls (Xage=17,20±,80). The State Trait Anger Scale is used to reach the study's goal which was developed by Spielberger (1983). While analyzing and interpreting the data, descriptive statistics techniques and Paired-Sample T-Test are used. In the study, the consistent level of anger of the experimental group pre-test (23,73±3,30) and post-test (23,53±2,43), the level of anger control pre-test (19,73±2,07) and post-test (22,10±1,47), intrinsic anger levels pre-test (28,20±2,16) and post-test (25,57±1,87) and extrinsic anger levels pre-test (20,70±2,34) and post-test (18,46±1,78). The difference among the average scorings are significant (P
