The present investigation attempted to determine the effects of Visuo Motor Behavior Rehearsal on cohesion of handball players after the duration of 08 weeks. Twenty (20) male handball players with age group 18 to 24 years from LNIPE, NERC Guwahati were purposively selected and all the subjects were divided randomly into two groups, each group consisting of 10 subjects. Experimental group under gone Visuo Motor Behavior Rehearsal for the duration of eight weeks three times a week whereas control group was not involved in any training programme except their daily routine. Measurements of cohesion of all handball players with the use of Group Environment Questionnaire developed by Carron A.V., Lawrence R. Brawley, W. Neil Widmeyer, 2002 were taken at the beginning and after the experimental period of eight weeks. Descriptive statistics, analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) as statistical techniques were employed. Further Bonferroni post hoc means comparison was also used when F value was found significant. The main effect for the treatment groups were significant at 5% level for ATGS; F=105.673, p=0.00, p<0.05 and for GIT; F=68.088, p=0.00, p<0.05). Whereas on the other hand, the main effect for the treatment groups were not significant at level 5% in ATGT; F=2.851, p=0.110, p>0.05 and in GIS; F=5.420, p=0.033, p<0.05). Post hoc results showed that difference between the experimental and control group 1.579 for ATGS and 1.395 for GIT are positive that means experimental group is having higher score compared to the control group.
