They don't really have them beyond U15 though. I think they only fielded 2nd teams for U13-U15 and beyond that if there were bubble players they would just double roster on a GA and United team.
They have a U-17 United team that practices at Hanson. That team has a large roster. So much so that they kind of split it in two and one team plays EDP and the other plays NCSL. But to the best of my knowledge, none (or *very* few) of those players have ever played with the U-17 GA team.

The positive thing is that even if each age group loses some top players, it's still only GA and teams will continue to win and have success. Not as harsh as an entrance to ECNL would be.
Based on the standings in the lower age groups I don't think they will be winning easily. They are having more success against ECNL teams in tournaments then they are in their own conference. It will be tougher for them to reach the top of the GA Middle Atlantic than many people think.
Is that bolded part true? Doesn't seem right, unless they're playing against bottom feeder ECNL teams.
FCV 2010GA has had good results against BSC at the end of their U13 year and this year results against FC Delco and Arlington. I still think they're trending down just due to their inconsistency and not being able to be beyond middle of the road for league play.

Sounds like you're specifically talking about the 2010 GA team. They have had some success in tournaments against ECNL competition and their league play has been mediocre.
Their 2011's seem to be having a decent run, but haven't played any ECNL opponents.
Either way, should some part of every GA team from FCV move to another GA club that forms like the rumors surrounding VAR, I don't know if it's just as simple as plug and play and it's rolling again.
