If your team is affiliated with a school system, check to see if it is considered to be a "team" or a "club." Often these definitions will decide whether or not you can consider being selective. A "team" sometimes has to hire/pay a stipend to a coach/teacher. It may be able to have tryouts. It might have to join an athletics conference and follow their rules. An after-school "club" might be "looser" in terms of restrictions, but may have to be open to everyone who is interested. And there are "pay-to-play" stipulations in some school districts also. It gets complicated but speaking from experience, it's a good thing to have this defined before any issues arise.
