1) Keep being conscientious
2) The definition of fair charge is side-o-side, at least one foot on the ground, arms down and not undue force (only enough to gain advantage). Anything beyond those factors is technically illegal; but the tolerance varies by age and gender, so allow more force with stronger players.
3) On corners, I try to get a different angle than my partner, perpendicular to the direction the attackers will move. Obviously, contact is more likely because of the crowding but that gets back to the undue force factor. Also, observe the keeper to be sure no one impedes and if you are lead be very alert to offside possibilities. Because of the proximity, be sure to call any attacking infraction and be sure you have to on defending infractions which will be PK.
