Who are the Pumas?
The New Berlin Pumas are a Youth Select Baseball team in New Berlin, WI. Formed over 20 years ago, the Pumas were officially incorporated as a 501c3 organization in 2012. In 2020 the Pumas expanded by adding the New Berlin Pumas Fastpitch program that continues to develop and expand on our Pumas family.
What League do the Pumas play in?
The Pumas Baseball teams participate in the MAJORybl, the WYSBL, and WBA depending on the teams. All Pumas Fastpitch teams participate in the Wisconsin Fastpitch League.

The Pumas way
The Pumas are a highly competitive organization with championships in league and tournament play each and every year. We do this through proper coaching selection prior to assigning head coaches and ensuring our basecall coaches are SAFE CERTIFIED through USA Baseball and our fastpitch coaches are USA Softball of Wisconsin compliant. This also ensures our coaches put a focus on having fun and enjoying the game of baseball into the childrens' futures. With the facilities available to us, and our partnership with Ethic Sports LLC at OAW, we are able to work with the players in a more focused group to help them continually develop. Very often we hear from our parents, "We love our Pumas family"! We are a group that likes to have fun and fellowship off the field, which translates to fun and hard work on the field. We are not only developing players, but young men and women that will become young adults. Learning life lessons is part of the game's journey. Overcoming adversity, and rising to the challenges they are faced with, are tools they will be able to use no matter where life takes them. For the Pumas - it's more than a game, it's family.
Fundraising
We will have fundraising opportunities in the form of the New Berlin Pumas Tournament, partnering with local and national business in donations, a Golf Outing, a Beer & Wine Tasting adult event, and many more. We can't do it without our incredible families! More information will be given at our annual organizational meetings.
Communication
We feel that youth sports in general do not do the best job in communicating with the families of the organization. We make it a point to make sure you are aware of the key things the organization is working on. We will be having bi-annual all coaches meetings, as well as an annual all families meeting to make our families are a part of their child's success!
