USC coaches and players bond at the beach

The USC football team traded the turf for a sandy beach a week after spring practice concluded.

Coach Steve Sarkisian, several assistants and about 30 players bonded Saturday in Hermosa Beach.

“Great day at the beach with teammates and coaches! Man I love this TROJAN family,” defensive lineman Antwaun Woods wrote on Instagram.

Sarkisian and several players waded into the ocean, including receiver JuJu Smith, who toted a surfboard.

Others stayed on the sand to play cards and volleyball.

After several hours of surf and sand, players boarded a charter bus back to campus.
