B.E.S.A. Power Skating Arosa – Balance and Edge Control
B.E.S.A. TRAINING PHILOSOPHY

BALANCE – THE FOUNDATION
OF MODERN ICE HOCKEY

Without balance, there is no efficient skating technique and no optimal power transfer when shooting.

A stable body position enables precise movements, explosive acceleration and confident changes of direction.

This is why the B.E.S.A. skating methodology begins with Balance.

WHY GOOD SKATING TECHNIQUE MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

4 / SPEED

Speed does not come from greater effort alone. What matters is how efficiently a player transfers power onto the ice.

B.E.S.A. Power Skating – player generating speed on ice
1 / TECHNIQUE

Power Begins with Technique

A powerful skating stride requires more than strong legs. Body position, edge control and weight transfer determine how effectively a player accelerates.

2 / EFFICIENCY

Efficiency Saves Energy

Proper skating technique reduces unnecessary movements and wasted energy. This allows players to maintain their speed with less effort – especially important towards the end of a shift.

3 / BALANCE

Stability Improves Shooting

A stable body position enables better power transfer to the stick. At the same time, the player maintains control over both movement and puck.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Training intensity alone does not determine a player's progress –
the quality of movement makes the difference.

Benchmark On-Ice Testing

In 2027, we offer five B.E.S.A. Power Skating Camps in Arosa for different age groups and skill levels. Each camp follows our proven training methodology – combining professional coaching, individual attention and deliberately limited group sizes. Our CHL/NHL Benchmark On-Ice Testing provides an objective assessment of each player's skating performance and identifies opportunities for further development.

🏒 New for 2027 – Additional Camp for Players Aged 12+

The years between 10 and 12 represent a particularly important stage in the development of skating technique. This is why we are expanding our 2027 programme with an additional camp for players aged 12 and older. This creates more training opportunities to strengthen essential technical foundations and support each player's long-term development.
