The 'Outlaws' Name

From Viking times, Headingley was the centre of the wapentake of Skyrake. The name Skyrake, may refer to an oak tree that was used as a meeting place for settling legal disputes, raising armies and disciplining those who didn’t abide by the law (Outlaws). Sadly, after centuries, the famous oak tree collapsed in 1941. In 2013 due to the ongoing demand and rise of Tchoukball within the Leeds area, Headingley ‘Outlaws’ Tchoukball club was born, deriving their name from this historical meeting point in their local village. This historical meeting point in Headingley also fittingly encapsulates the words 'together and inclusiveness' as it often bought civilians from neighbouring villages together, which perfectly fits the club’s ethos and the Tchoukball charter.
