Some of the recent success of the Oregon State football program has been its widely popular team building activities that occur during its preseason every August and prior to bowl games.

Beaver players participate in swimming, bowling, sumo wrestling, paintball and attending Portland Trail Blazers games among other activities. Special guests also often visit OSU football thanks to the connections of an experienced coaching staff, including college head coach and former ESPN analyst Bill Curry.

“The team looks forward to competing against each other off the field in other sports. The team building activities have definitely helped bring the team together and have led to success on the field.” -- Linebacker Dennis Christopher
