Toms River High School South competes in the Shore Conference, an athletic conference made up of private and public high schools centered at the Northern Jersey Shore. All schools in this conference are located within Monmouth County and Ocean County. The league operates under the jurisdiction of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA).
In 2009, the Toms River South boys soccer team upset Toms River North in the state semi-finals, and went on to win the Group IV state championship for the first time in program history with a 1-0 victory over Clifton High School. Also in the 2009-10 school year, the Toms River High School South boys ice hockey team won the Public A state tournament as a 16th seed, which is the lowest seed to ever win the state championship, having knocked off the number one seed Morris Knolls High School in the first round, and beat the number 3 seed Randolph High School in the finals.
The football team won the NJSIAA state sectional championships in 1978 in South Jersey Group IV and in both 1983 and 1991 in South Jersey Group III.
Each year, students, parents, teachers, alumni and administrators gather for the annual Toms River High School North vs. Toms River High School South football game. The game is considered to be the biggest event of the year for students. The annual event began in the fall of 1972.
