Learn English – A word meaning the opposite action of recruiting

antonymsphrase-requestssingle-word-requests

If I was starting a club for cool kids only, I would recruit all the cool kids by, for example, actively seeking them out and convincing them to join the club.

To keep the uncool kids out of my club, I dissuade them from wanting to be in my club by telling them that it's a dumb club and only losers join. Is there a word that describes what I'm doing to the uncool kids?
