Our team followed Chatsworth's lead last year and invited members of our rookie teams to join us in Phoenix, a regional before the So Cal Regional they wouldn't have been able to attend.
The only "problem" we had was if the student wasn't from our school, they had to have a parent accompany them.
This year we can't afford to pay their way (still ironing out last year's reimbursments) but have let our rookies know that if they can pay, and a parent will accompany them, they can join us at Phoenix or Nationals.
We only take the students who are willing to WORK as part of the team, and behave.
Our team adopts talented jr hi and elementary students, and students from other schools who haven't been able to get a team off the ground.
