Top players have left for other clubs, other top players have stayed at FVU, and other top players have not gotten an offer. Sad, for the ones who were not picked, hopefully they find a home soon.

Basically a trap player is born in the same birth year as the kids that are a grade older on a team (think Oct.-Dec. birthdays since cutoff for school, at least in VA, is Sept. 30). So those players are "trapped" and get to repeat their U19 season twice - once as a Junior playing with mostly seniors in HS, then as actual seniors playing with majority Juniors. I have two trap players in club soccer. and really wish they had never moved to the birth year rule and just stuck with grade levels.
Can one play U19 season twice? I guess the leagues don’t care about age at that point?
Age is why they can play twice. It's U19, not U18.
This is correct. Trap players get to play U19 two years in a row.
What does this mean? How do those kids get to play U19 two years in a row?
Kids born Oct.-Dec. birthdays are a grade LOWER (cutoff for school, at least in VA, is Sept. 30).
At U18 the Oct.-Dec. kids will play with mostly seniors in the Academy, while they will be Juniors.
So the following year once they are finally seniors most of the their teammates will be off to college? and what happens to the Oct.-Dec. kids?
There is no U18. It's U17 and then U19 at most clubs. Mayve you need an example - the 2006 kids who are in 11th grade right now 92023-24 school year), they are playing U19 for the current 2023-24 season and will be U19 again for 2024-25 season. U19 always have two age groups because of the trapped players.

I guess a chance at sitting on a college sideline? It sucks that this is the culmination of them starting out and watching them play as U-littles.

Where did they state that they will only roster 18? The smallest rosters are U13-U15 and that's projected at 20, U16/17 are 22 and U19 is 24

Or pick up any starters from Brave? Net-net, have they emerged stronger or weaker?
All the strong players from both Union and BRAVE are on FVU

No starters left but a few players did not get offers. 2 went to Arlington and 1 went to SYC.
That team is competitive with a lot of strong players. Glad they all found a place to play.
