AYSO is a national organization. Redwood City is "Region 1" of Area 2N in Section 2 of the United States.

Another very comprehensive online store for all kinds of soccer equipment is Eurosport, which you can find at www.soccer.com. Referee equipment is available from Refwear.com.
YSP carries a large selection of products for the soccer volunteer.
