The first team for the Dromana Beachcombers was established in 1967, the same year that the Southern Peninsula Basketball Association (SPBA) was established.

At that time basketball was still a young sport in Australia, and facilities were few and far between. First games were often played at the Red Hill Show Grounds, on a concrete court.

A group of young lads got together and formed the first team. This was not longer after followed by a ladies team, and later on, junior teams.

The club is continuously fielded teams in the Southern Peninsula Basketball Association since that time.
