Ex-UM star Tamara James to conduct hoops clinic

No matter how big Tamara James made it in basketball -- leading South Broward High School to three consecutive girls basketball state titles, forging an All-American career at the University of Miami and getting drafted No. 8 overall in the 2006 WNBA draft, James has always made time for the neighborhood children.

On Sept. 13, James will return to the Dr. Martin Luther King Community Center in Hollywood, where she played pickup games as a rising prep star, for the third annual Tamara James Fun Day and Youth Basketball Clinic.

James, with an assist from University of Miami Womens Basketball head coach Katie Meier, will lead elementary and middle school-age children through drills from 9-12.

There will be free food and drinks and giveaway for the kids. Meier and her coaching staff will then conduct a coach's clinic from 1-2.
