One of the Chicago's Little League players challenged the U.S President Barack Obama to a basketball game when the team visited the White House.

Marquis Jackson, second baseman and pitcher for Chicago's Jackie Robinson West, said that he told the president he wanted to face him in basketball, the Huffington Post reported.

The president reportedly promised the 13-year-old that he would schedule a match the next time he's home in Chicago.

Team manager Darold Butler added that the president told the kid that he needs to grow a little bit more before they play.
