History

The club joined the football competition in 1921–22, in the Leidsche Voetbal Bond (LVB), the football association for Leiden. The club played in the Sunday league but a ban on entry charges on Sunday caused financial troubles and Quick Boys moved to the new Saturday league.

Quick Boys have played at the highest amateur level since the founding of the club in 1920. The club won 9 titles in the Eerste Klasse, and joined the new Saturday Hoofdklasse in 1996, winning a further four titles. Twenty seasons later it won promotion to the Derde Divisie (formerly Topklasse) for the first time by winning the fourth Hoofdklasse title. After three seasons in the Derde Divisie, Quick Boys promoted to the highest amateur division (Tweede Divisie) after beating OSS '20 and VVSB in the relegation play-offs.

The club reached the quarter-finals of the 2007–08 KNVB Cup. [4]

Former professional footballer Dirk Kuyt started and ended his senior career with the team, playing in 1998 and 2018. [5]

In the 2024–25 KNVB Cup, Quick Boys defeated Eredivisie side Almere City FC 3–0 in the first round, and then defeated another Eredivisie club, Fortuna Sittard 3–1 in the second round.
