The Beachside District Sports Group is an extension of School Sports Victoria. School Sports Victoria is the parent body for all sport in the education department both primary and secondary. The secondary school component is divided into Northern, Eastern, Western and Southern Zones who govern school sports in those geographical areas. Each zone is comprised of a number of districts, each of which contain a number of schools.

The Beachside District comprises of the following Schools-

• Bentleigh Secondary College
• Brighton Secondary College
• Cheltenham Secondary College
• McKinnon Secondary College
• Mordialloc College
• Mentone Secondary College
• Parkdale Secondary College
• Sandringham College
  • Senior Campus
  • Beaumarris Campus
  • Highett Campus
• Sth Oakleigh Secondary College

Each School runs their own selections for each sport and once their teams have been selected they compete in either round robin days (generally intermediate and senior levels) against the other schools or weekly round robin competitions (generally year 7 and 8 levels) against the other schools in their pool. From these round robins the champion team represents the Beachside District against champion teams from the other sports districts in a sudden death competition on their way to the Southern zone finals and state championships.

The same applies for the Athletics, Swimming Sports and Cross Country however the team is made up of individuals from all schools, not just the champion's schools competitiors. To be selected the individual must finish first or second in an event.
