The Group 5A South Region is a division of the Virginia High School League. Along with the 5A North Region, it consists of the second largest high schools in Virginia in terms of population. The region was formed in 2013 when the VHSL adopted a six classification format and eliminated the previous three classification system. For the purpose of regular season competition, schools compete within districts that existed prior to 2013, while post-season competition will be organized within four conferences that make up each region.
