Usage and omission of "the"

I have a question regarding the usage of the. Should I use the in the following sentence?

Suppose I am a sports teacher in my school. I enter a class in my school and want to know if the students in the class would like to play soccer today. So, should I use the in the following sentence?

Here's the context:

  • Hi everyone, Today we will play soccer. (The)students who want to play join me at the school ground.

I know it is better to use those or "anyone who wants to... instead of (The)students. But I want to know whether I should use the or not. I am sorry because I think I am unable to provide a better context than this. I Hope you get what I want to know.

Thanks in advance.

The meaning of this is unclear. You should explain it.
