WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama has attended a basketball game for his younger daughter.

The White House says 11-year-old Sasha Obama's team had a game Saturday morning at a community center in Chevy Chase, Md., just outside Washington.

An avid basketball player himself, Obama served as an assistant coach for the team _ the Vipers _ for at least one season. He returned to the White House after the game.

The White House provided no other information about the game or the president's activity there.
