CARVER, SAMPLES, LUCKEY JOIN ARMOR ELITE

CARVER, SAMPLES, LUCKEY JOIN ARMOR ELITE   

Armor Elite is excited to announce the addition of Coach Ryan Carver, who will lead a three-team expansion into our organization, supported by his coaching staff Ryan Samples and Tia Luckey. Carver has built a reputation for guiding athletes toward college opportunities through a clear, well-established development and recruiting pathway. His approach is rooted in helping players grow as competitors, teammates, and young women prepared for what comes next.

This group also brings three established teams into the Armor Elite family: one 16U and two 18U teams filled with local athletes who have grown together, competed fearlessly, and shown they can stand toe-to-toe with anyone. These coaches excel at building true teams — athletes who play with each other and for each other — while supporting their long-term goals.

Carver and his Coaching staff have earned a strong reputation for guiding athletes through recruiting, building meaningful relationships with college programs, and making an impact that lasts far longer than four years of college softball. Their approach aligns perfectly with Armor Elite’s results-driven coaching staff and further strengthens the recruiting support we provide across the organization.

We are also excited to share that Coach Carver will join the Armor Elite Board of Directors, helping shape the vision and direction of the club as we continue building a high-performing, athlete-first program.

Stronger staff. Stronger recruiting support. Stronger future.

 Welcome to Armor Elite.
