=== Southern California Ironmen (1997–2002) ===

The Ironmen continued competing in the NPPL professional 10-man division during the late 1990s and early 2000s.

The published 2001 NPPL roster listed Shane Pestana as captain, alongside Kevin Arcilla, Bryon Benini, Marty Bush, Brahim Estephan, Oliver Lang, Matt Marshall, Micah McGlocklin, Yosh Rau, Rich Telford, Davie Williamson and Billy Wing. [10]

The team was also involved in the development of competitive playing facilities at [[SC Village]]. Brahim Estephan was credited with designing the SC Arenas tournament facility, while Estephan and Pestana were involved in preparing layouts for the 2001 NPPL Los Angeles Open. [11]

Following changes to its roster, the Ironmen won the professional 10-man division at the 2002 NPPL Chicago Open in Crete, Illinois. The tournament included a match against Bob Long's Ironmen, which the Southern California team won. [12]

At the end of the 2002 season, the Southern California Ironmen and [[San Diego Dynasty]] finished tied for first place in the NPPL professional 10-man standings, both earning 229 ranking points. The series organisers recognised the teams as joint champions. [13]
