The Kvv Quick Boys is a Dutch football club from Katwijk aan Zee , a village on the Dutch North Sea coast . The club was founded on February 1, 1920, and since then the club has played in the top amateur league every season, with the exception of a few years between 2010 and 2019. Quick Boys has around 2,400 members and a few hundred active organized fans, unusually high numbers for a purely amateur football club in a small town. The club plays the home games in the sports park Nieuw Zuid ("New South"), which has a capacity of 8500 spectators. The first team currently plays in the highest Dutch amateur league, the third-rate Tweede Divisie .
history
The club is best known for the former national team player Dirk Kuijt : The Katwijk-born professional footballer started his football career at Quick Boys. At the age of 18 he made his debut in the first team of Quick Boys, in 1998 he moved to FC Utrecht . The main stand of the Nieuw Zuid sports park, which was newly built in 2010 , was partly paid for with the help of the transfer from Kuijt to Liverpool FC .
One of the greatest successes in the club's history, however, is reaching the KNVB Cup quarter-finals in 2008. At that time they lost 3-0 to NAC Breda in front of a sold-out home crowd in Katwijk aan Zee .
