Most states consider non-compete agreements enforceable only if they are necessary, and only if they are reasonably restricted as to time and geographic scope. But these agreements are governed by state law, and each state has its own cases and statutes relating to such matters. Since your employees will be working in Virginia, you should consult with a Virginia attorney.
You may need an anti-piracy agreement rather than a non-compete. Anti-piracy agreements are easier to enforce, because they don't preclude the employee from working in the employee's chosen profession - they simply protect you from having your customers stolen.
