Fatima “TNT” Maddox – the Harlem Globetrotters’ first female player in 19 years – led a youth basketball skills clinic at 24 Hour Fitness, 12922 SE Kent Kangley Road, on Monday.
Maddox, the ninth female Globetrotter in team history, was nicknamed TNT by the team because of her explosiveness. A standout track and field star, the 2007 Temple University graduate joined teammate Anthony “Buckets” Blakes in directing the two-day clinic in Kent.
The Globetrotters are partnering with 24 Hour Fitness to host summer skills clinics throughout the U.S. for boys and girls ages 6-14. Kent is among 10 Seattle-area skills clinics scheduled this week.
