The Crows are happy with how the draw has panned out for them following its release last week.
They'll start the new season off on July 18 at home against MCUE before taking on Narrandera on the Eagles' home turf the following week.
All up, Leeton-Whitton will have five home games out of a possible nine, leaving them in a solid position in the shortened competition.
Leeton-Whitton senior netball coach Rachal Boradbent said preparations at training were well on track.

A grade will also welcome back Ainsley McGrath, who had been due to line up in the Hume League, but will return to the Crows after that competition was called off due to the pandemic.
"Everything is going really well," Broadbent said.
"We're training two nights a week. Fitness on Tuesdays and a lot of game-play on Thursdays.
"Everyone is really excited for the season to get underway."
The sides will play in an intra-club trial on Saturday this week before round one next weekend.
Being a smaller side height-wise, Broadbent has been working on a new game plan for the side.
"We've been working on defensive pressure ... every week we've constantly been doing that for both A and Reserve," she said. "We're working on a diamond-pressure defence, so it's looking good at the moment."
