In _ _ _ _ _ _ _ The goal shoot can only go in their attacking third and are allowed in their shooting circle

Correct Answer
Netball

Explanation
In netball, the goal shoot is restricted to the attacking third of the court and is only permitted to enter the shooting circle. This rule ensures that the goal shoot stays within their designated area and can only attempt to score goals from within the shooting circle. This helps to maintain the structure and fairness of the game, as it prevents the goal shoot from interfering with play in other areas of the court and ensures that they are in the appropriate position to score goals.

Correct Answer
hands

Explanation
In basketball, the only body part allowed to hold the ball is the hands. This is because the hands provide the necessary grip and control needed to handle the ball effectively. The use of any other body part would result in a violation of the rules, such as a traveling or double dribble violation. Therefore, it is essential for players to use their hands to catch, dribble, pass, and shoot the ball during a basketball game.
