One role of soccer coaches is to set up practice tasks for better performance of players. Soccer practice tasks cover many contents and methods. Composing practice tasks effective for improvement of players, however, is not easy for many coaches because of the following reasons: for the same practice task, there are a variety of players who are engaged in it (i.e. physique, skill level) and a variety of task conditions (i.e. size of space, play constraints such as 1-touch play), which might bring great difference in aspect and quality of performed plays. Recent studies on skill learning have examined promotion of learning using interaction between constraints (i.e. organism, environment, tasks) and learners (Williams & Hodges, 2005). Organismic constraints include both structural constraints such as height and weight and functional constraints such as strength of synaptic apposition in brain, cognition, motivation, and emotion. Environmental constraints are natural gravity, temperature, sound and light during exercising. Task constraints are targets of tasks and rules included in the tasks. It is considered that understanding individual organismic characteristics, designing environment, and devising tasks can let learners unconsciously tap out preferred behaviors (Newell, 1986). Williams (2003) asserts that a soccer coach, by manipulating these constraints, should attempt to produce practice process and game situations so that players themselves can fi nd and learn desired plays without any instructions from the coach. Similarly, as Nakayama (2004) mentioned, the Japan Foootball Association promotes the importance of coaching, in which a coach should devise situation settings, control the number of players, rules, and ball distribution from the coach in practice, and clarify skills to be developed. Further, Araújo, et al., (2005) examined differences in learning effect according to the quality of soccer ball as one task constraint as well as effect of learning decision making ability in ball games through practice tasks using the constraints. Button, et al., (2005) have reported change of kicking movement by task constraints, accuracy and speed at kicking, which were different emphatic points. In this way, task constraints can be a useful The Effects of Play Area Size as Task Constraints on Soccer Pass Skills
