So many choices. Shoes are nice especially if she's still growing. Ankle braces are nice and not a lot of people have a pair. She likely has knee pads so won't need those any time soon. A ball is nice even if she has one. I'd go for the super touch, /u/Kace10 provided a link. They're cheaper on Amazon. If she ever plays beach, an outdoor ball is a good gift here or here. Lines are also a nice gift, a little pricier here. If she has more than say, 2 balls, a mesh bag is nice here. Or even a regular bag for shoes, ball, towel, etc., you can get those anywhere.
Welcome to the Florida Quidditch scene! I have some experience with having to cobble equipment together in a hurry, so hopefully I can be of some help there.
Brooms: PVC is your friend- more specifically, 10' x 1/2" Schedule 40 PVC. It's only about $2 per pipe, and each one makes 3 brooms. You can cap them if you want, but I would highly recommend buying some kind of colored tape to wrap them. You can get your team's colors, and let each player customize their own broom (this helps with any disappointment about not using "real brooms").
Balls: The official quaffle is a Baden Matchpoint size 5, but any (probably cheaper) volleyball will do the trick. Cheap dodgeballs can easily be found at walmart or similar places. Same with tennis balls for the snitch.
Hoops: This is probably the hardest part, as costs can rack up in a hurry if you don't remember you need 6 of everything. My method probably isn't the best/prettiest, but it got the job done for us last year. You need 3 parts for these:
As for the other stuff like headbands, whistles, etc, just ask your players, chances are between everyone, you'll already have a lot of what you need.
My area uses the Spalding KOB for the majority of the time, but definitely check with your area. If your community prefers the Wilson AVP ball, nobody will want to use the KOB even if you buy it.
Also, make sure you're getting the real balls, not replicas. The price point usually tells you which is which
You know what bro, I am not 100% sure. The last tournament I played in I was told that that they will switch to the AVP one because things changed. I play BB or A so I don't care much. I will double check and let you know in the future.
For amazon, if you are talking about this, then yeah there is a different between the two balls (gold vs the yellow printing). I bought that same one and got the yellow printing. I think they both are just listed together because they have the same UPC?
You know....
You can buy a Wilson and have the best wingman for the rest of your life.

In high school, a couple friends of mine used to call me "Stuttering Stanley". I dont even know who that is.
Now, a friend of mine goes ballistic and calls me "WIIIILLLSSSOONNNNN". That's a Cast away reference for those of you didn't know where it came from.
You can play with whatever you want, but outdoor balls are made for the purpose and will both survive and play better in the sand and grass.
Get the Spalding King of the Beach or Wilson AVP ball.

Do not get a replica ball. They are terrible.
outdoor, i highly recommend a spalding king of the beach
Souther Cali beach players use the wilson AVP ball
Old school players use heavier Spalding kings of the beach
The Spalding KoB is better when it's windy because it's heavier but the Wilson is the current AVP ball.
There is a new version of the [Wilson AVP II] (https://www.amazon.com/Wilson-AVP-Official-Beach-Volleyball/dp/B01C5VR8SI/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1473780846&sr=8-3&keywords=wilson+sand+volleyball) ball but more expensive.
*edit: added the AVP II ball link
For indoor, your two most popular ones are the Molten Flistatec that NCAA uses ($85 MSRP, but you can find it for ~$50), and the Mikasa MVA200 that FIVB uses. (also ~$50)
For beach, it's the [Wilson AVP(https://www.amazon.com/Wilson-WTH6007ID-AVP-Game-Volleyball/dp/B01C5VR8SI) or Spalding King of the Beach
Make sure you get the Official KoB.. approximately 45USD, not the Replica KoB.. approximately 15USD.
I've found the official KoB for as low as 30USD if you bargain hunt long enough.
It’s currently $45 on amazon for Black Friday sales
Buy him from Amazon now. Tomorrow could be too late.

Don't think so. Looks too shiny on the black portions and doesn't have the correct logo on the bottom portion.
For comparison.
Old Georgie.
This reminds me of the movie. Or rather, an actor in it. :3
You can buy that volleyball btw.
you should get one of these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00005LL1K/
For $14.99 it can be yours.
