Footwork: always stay infront of your man, never cross your feet,
Stick Checks are huge always keep pressure on a guy( not if he is way out 30 feet away from the goal but when he is more dangerous never let up on those checks
Don't be afraid to hit kids, if someone is dancing on your crease dont be hesitante to give a him nice clean hit

yeah dont be to aggresive, use poke checks, stay on balance and run with the man, also be physical but no too physical. and dont be afraid to lay someone out and WEAR A CUP

poke checks are what i think are most effective, good footwork, don't be too aggressive as Rg said
