DENVER, Colo. – Assistant Vice President and Director of Athletics David Spafford has announced Daven Bond as the sixth head coach of the Regis University Softball program. Bond spent the past five seasons at the helm of the softball program at Colorado Christian University. "I am excited to be taking over such a successful softball program. Nicole Trimboli did a great job of building a strong tradition at Regis and I'm anxious to continue the success," expressed Bond. 
 
"We are excited to announce Daven Bond as our new softball coach. Coach Bond brings extensive experience on many levels to our program and shares the same vision for the student-athlete experience here at Regis," said Spafford.
 
Bond served as CCU's first head coach of the softball program compiling an overall record of 120-143 (.456) since its inaugural season in 2012. The 2012 season was his most successful as he guided the team to 34 wins and an NCAA Division II National Tournament berth. For his efforts that season, Bond was named the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Co-Coach of the Year.
 
While at CCU, Bond led the team to three RMAC Tournaments appearances. Following the most recent season, CCU's Charlotte Romero was named the Schutt Sports/NFCA DII Freshman of the Year and RMAC Freshman of the Year. Bond has coached two All-Americans, three All-Region players and 16 All-RMAC performers, seven of which were selected to the First Team.

"It is so exciting to be a part of an athletic department with a vision for the future and the desire to be the best in the conference in all sports, and compete for National titles. We are certainly provided top resources to attract the top softball players in the nation, including a beautiful field, brand new indoor training facility, new softball locker rooms, an outstanding education, and…it's all in Denver, Colorado" added Bond.
 
Bond carries over 30 years of combined baseball and softball coaching and playing experience to the program, including a seven year stint as a pitcher for three different MLB minor league teams.
 
Bond's coaching roles include the Colorado Rockies Baseball Club, Front Range Christian High School, Metro State College and the USA Baseball Athlete Development Program. He is currently serving on the NCAA Division II National Softball Committee representing the South Central Region.
 
In addition, Bond has served as head coach of the Colorado Stampede 18 Gold Softball team since 1994 amassing a 768-218 overall record. Bond also owns The Yard Baseball and Softball Academy, conducting over 20,000 private baseball and softball pitching and hitting lessons with over 4,000 players.
