Under the leadership of new senior coach Jenna McCallum, the A and A reserve sides have spent months working hard in pre-season for their upcoming round one match against the Wagga Tigers.

The Crows were one of five sides to participate in last year's A grade AFL Riverina Championships, but managed just the one win in the shortened season.

A reserve had six teams hit the court, with Leeton-Whitton finishing the home and away season in fifth.

However, all eyes have now turned to the 2021 season as the competition gets back to normal in the Riverina Football and Netbal League.

In her first senior coaching position, McCallum said she had been enjoying the process so far.

"It's been really good, everyone has been working really hard, so I'm looking forward to getting the season started now," she said.

"It's been a long pre-season. We've got a squad of 18 for the two grades, so we are pretty well covered on all areas of the court.

"Pre-season has been going since February. The first few weeks were more fitness and court-based skills and then we've worked more into our game style and game play as the season has gotten closer."

With Wagga Tigers looming as their first opponent in 2021, a side which is always well-drilled no matter the year, McCallum said the Leeton-Whitton sides were keen to see where they were at.

"We'll see how this week goes at training before choosing our final teams for the weekend, but we're looking good," she said.

"I'm keen to see where we sit against a team like Wagga.

"We've always had a good rivalry with them.

"It's good to be playing a team like them first up as it will give us an idea of where we are at."

The Crows welcome back young gun Grace Korovata this year, who will add plenty of ammunition wherever she is needed on court.

"We've got a really good mix of younger players and experience," McCallum said.

"It's good to be able to develop the young talent we have."
