Founded in 2017 in Ridgewood, New Jersey, Towermen Lacrosse originated with eight third-grade boys and two dads playing at a roller-skating rink before expanding into an AA program. The club took its name from Ridgewood's early twentieth-century sports teams and its village tower, and it now draws players from across the tri-state area. Nationally, the organization is ranked boys #33 on US Club Lax.
