Quincy Youth Basketball (QYB) was formed in 2000 by Moe and Gail Duffy to provide a fun playing and learning experience for the student athletes of Quincy.  After over two years of hard work, our first season began in 2003.

The objective of Quincy Youth Basketball is to instill in the youth of the City of Quincy the ideals of good sportsmanship, honesty, loyalty, courage and respect for authority so that they may be well-adjusted, stronger and happier children who will grow to be good, decent, healthy and trustworthy citizens.

The purpose of Quincy Youth Basketball is to:

1. Create an environment where winning is stressed but not at the cost of having fun or team member participation;
2. Provide an opportunity to participate at a level that is commensurate with each child’s developmental level;
3. Provide qualified adult leadership;
4. Provide a safe and healthy environment;
5. Allow each child to play as a child and not as an adult;
6. Provide proper preparation for participation in the sport ;
7. Provide an equal opportunity to strive for success;
8. Be treated with dignity by all involved;
9. Have fun through sport.

Quincy Youth Basketball will give each person involved with QYB an opportunity to be valuable, able and responsible by coaching, playing or being a supportive parent.
