Show Off Your Ohio State Pride with Towels, Beach Gear for Oval Fun

Show Your Buckeye Pride with Ohio State Towels and Beach Gear

As an Ohio State student, there's nothing better than enjoying the warm spring weather while showing off your Buckeye pride. With the sunny forecast next week, it's the perfect time to break out your Ohio State towels, footballs, frisbees, and other beach gear for some fun in the sun.

Pack a Picnic and Head to the Oval

One of the best places on campus to soak up the sunshine is the Oval. This sprawling green space located between Mirror Lake and Ohio Stadium is the ideal spot for Ohio State students to gather for a beach-themed picnic. Bring your Ohio State beach towel or blanket and spread it out on the lush grass. Crack open your cooler and enjoy chilled beverages and snacks as you lounge with friends.

While you're picnicking on the Oval, break out the football and toss it around to get some exercise between bites. Just be mindful not to throw it too close to unsuspecting students trying to study or nap in the grass! If you brought a frisbee, you can practice trick throws and enjoy some friendly competition as well.

Head to the Lake for Water Fun

When you need to cool off from the heat, take the party to Mirror Lake which borders the Oval. Here you can wade into the shallow water or lounge along the grassy banks. Be sure to bring your Ohio State beach towel to dry off or to lay out after taking a dip. Float leisurely around the lake on a pool floaty while soaking up the sunshine.

Mirror Lake is also a great place to try out that new frisbee you bought at the student store. Play catch across the water and practice your disc skills. With ample space and the scenic lake views, flying disc fun is easy here. End your lake day with a spirited game of ultimate frisbee on the shore.

Rock Your Ohio State Swag

Of course, you can't fully immerse yourself in a Buckeye beach bash without sporting some Ohio State gear. Break out those new Ohio State towels and use them as beach blankets or wrap them around your waist. Don your favorite Ohio State t-shirt, shorts, or swimsuit to show your school spirit. Top it off with a bucket hat or visor and some aviator shades.

Not only will you look stylish in your OSU threads, but you'll stay comfortable while playing and relaxing outdoors. For extra sun protection, don't forget to lather on some sunscreen too!

Have a Beach Ball Bonanza

No beach party is complete without beach balls! Stop by any party supply store near campus and stock up on these summertime staples. When you're ready to play, head back to the Oval or find an open green space to start bouncing. Batt the oversized beach balls back and forth for a fun group activity.

You can also form teams and play a friendly game of volleyball using the beach ball. Set up an imaginary net between two towels or backpacks and practice your overhand serving, setting, spiking and bumping skills. Just be prepared to chase after errant serves across the Oval!

Continue the Fun at Night with Glow Gear

Don't let the sunset end your Ohio State beach bash! Extend the fun into the evening by breaking out glow-in-the-dark frisbees, beach balls and other accessories. Turn on some music, grab your glowing gear and dance the night away with friends under the stars.

Stage an exciting game of glow-in-the-dark frisbee toss or volleyball. The dark will make it harder to see the glowing discs and balls so it adds a fun challenge. You can also create glow stick jewelry, headbands, and other DIY accessories for a unique summer nighttime look.

Showcase Your Buckeye Spirit All Season

While next week's sunny weather makes it perfect for a beach-themed bash, you can showcase your Ohio State spirit with towels and recreational gear any time. Break them out for any get-together with friends, whether it's a tailgate at the Shoe or a study session on the lawn. Let everyone know you're a proud Buckeye by rocking Ohio State accessories from head to toe!
