The short answer to your question is yes.
The long answer: if you are doing sampling or performing an experiment it depends if you are choosing a sample from the rookies (yes it is a population) or the rookies is your sample (then no.)
Not sure what I am describing, comment back.
BTW I teach classes in statistics and probability and also finite math. If you need any one-on-one help (for example the day before an exam) send me a direct message from my profile. I can be available on short notice.
