There are several local stores we have used before:

   PJ's Sports in Bethesda near Montgomery Mall
   MadLax in Olney
   Sports Extra in downtown Bethesda near the Metro

*****

The following equipment is listed in order of importance:

Minimum Equipment for U7

Stick (which can be fiddle stick)

Gloves

Good attitude

Recommended Equipment for U7:

Athletic Protector (aka CUP) with compression pants

Helmet and mouthpiece

Cleats

Possible additional equipment:

Arm pads

Shoulder pads

Rib pads (some shoulder pads are big enough to cover ribs too)

I expect all of the older players, especially if they want to play in a game, to have the whole list, with ribs pads optional depending on size of child.

The best deal is to get a Starter Kit. It includes shoulder pads, arm pads, and gloves. Here is a page that shows different ones:

and then you need a helmet:

Another option that has slightly nicer equipment (and mouthpiece and a ball too) is from South Swell Sports:
