While both programs are run by CVYL, baseball belongs to the Little League of Johnstown (since 2015), and softball plays in the Cambria-Somerset Fastpitch Softball League (since 2001). The league's baseball program is sanctioned by Little League, through West Suburban Little League.

In 2008, East Conemaugh Borough Council gave the league the green light to explore lighting options due to the rise in participation numbers. Just two years later, CVYL began playing night games, thanks to a $20,000 grant through the State of Pennsylvania and various other donors.
