Quick Boys is an amateur football club from Katwijk, the Netherlands, currently playing in the Hoofdklasse. The club, established on February 1, 1920, is the second most successful amateur football club in the Netherlands, behind IJsselmeervogels.
The club joined the football competition in the 1921-22 season, in the Leidsche Voetbal Bond (LVB), the football association for the Leiden area. The club initially played in the Sunday league, but a ban on entry charge on Sunday caused financial troubles for the club, and Quick Boys moved to the newly formed Saturday league.
Quick Boys has played on the highest level of amateur football in the Netherlands since 1970. The club won 9 titles in what was then known as the Eerste Klasse, and joined the newly established Saturday Hoofdklasse in 1996, winning a further two titles there.
Quick Boys has reached the quarter finals of the KNVB Cup 2007-08.
