Apple's own Reminders app has a good example of the functionality you are asking about.
Reminders has a left column of checkboxes next to the items and a disclosure chevron on the right side of the reminder column. Touching a checkbox selects the checkbox and touching the reminder slides the user to the details page.

Have you looked at the Google Plus Circles UI? That's an awesome way to move a large number of people into smaller groups.
It solves a number of your requirements:
people can be in multiple groups
it's easy to show people that are not yet in a group by filtering the overview of available people
it makes great use of your screen real-estate for ...

This is a bit old school but perhaps will help stir the creative juices.
A list builder is a classic example of this functionality. In that case, the tree grid ends up being the "view" of the teams (and in this case, you could pivot that view by teams or by people/players).
The benefits of the list builder, assuming attributes may have a one:many ...

The '+' and '-' seem not very intuitive to me. I guess you're looking for something like this:
Categories Show all
[X] Category 1
[_] Category 2
Brands Show all
[_] Brand 1
[_] Brand 2
Dates Show all
(_) Last 30 days
(*) Last 90 days
using checkboxes for multiple selects and radio buttons for mutual excluding selections. This is a pattern that is ...

It your example it is quite obscure what the user can select or deselect.
Maybe you want to display a list in some form or another and use checkboxes.
An example in Gmail
Generic is not always a good idea. What makes sense is context so depending on what you are picking the UI can be different (most of the time it should be different in fact).

In your tab design you are hacking in a drop down menu due to space constraint. Why not be consistent and use a drop down for the entire thing.
Also, drop down menus have good integration in the OS (atleast iOS does it, where they pop-up the menu options from the footer ) making the interaction not so clunky. It gives you a comfortable target area compared ...

Use tabs if both of these are true:
the list is always only going to be short (say 3 items long)
the typical user will regularly switch between options
Use a dropdown if any of these are true:
the list is either long or is likely to need more options in the future. Tabs simply don't work when you have many tabs to show at the same time and not a lot ...

Here's a simple rule of thumb:
If there are only two options, and you need to force a choice, use radio buttons and do not pre-select one. It's ok to make an exception to the rule that a radio button set should always have a default selection in this case. See Luke Wroblewski's "Form Design" page 158.
But in your case, let them just click a checkbox if ...

So we already know that there are thousands of members :
Do this members have characteristics (known by the system) that can help managing groups ? You are talking about organisation, is it a relevant information to create the group ?
How many groups there is ? Possibly infinite or 2/3 ? it is going to make a huge difference in the design of your solution

Do the objects have to be that small ?
For instance you can use lines instead of dots and show more information when hoover. The area of selection gets way bigger since it does not depend on Y and X axis but on X only.

Let the user select a container box. Then system should make the first object in that box as current object and highlight it (as we do highlight current list item). User should be able to move through the objects using left arrow and right arrow keys of keyboard or by clicking on the arrow buttons provided on either side of the selected container box. ...

One solution is to show a magnified version directly above where the user is currently hovering. Look at how YouTube deals with seeking long videos, for example:
This allows the user to select a rough time period they are interested in, then make a finer selection using the shorter-interval magnification.
The Music app on the iPhone/iPod has a feature ...
