Tumbling at Cultural CCRAM is a modality with many traditions and brilliant results. With this project, we intend to renew our Tumbling track and enable the continuation of work started about two decades ago... Help us make the leap!

But... What is Tumbling?

Tumbling is a sport that is a part of the gymnastics area. It is characterized by the rapid chain of acrobatic elements in rotation without motion of momentum, in an elevated track that is 25 meters long with a driving base that helps gymnasts in their performance.

The gymnast should always demonstrate speed, strength, flexibility and ability while performing a series of acrobatic manoeuvers.

As it was already mentioned, this sport has been practiced at CCRAM for about 20 years and currently has 15 athletes with age ranging from 6 to 13 years.

The track where the drills are practiced, due to its 25 years of use, presents damages that have increased in recent years. Some of the plaques are broken and several cracks are visible on the carpet, which put at risk the safety of gymnasts. The risk increases significantly at older ages, which is why we don’t have athletes older than 13. Moreover, these lacks require extra care during practice, damaging the athletes in their technical evolution.

Despite these important limitations, the professional value of teachers and the enthusiasm of our gymnasts has allowed to achieve many successes on regional and national levels.

We have been present in large regional and national competitive events:

In 2010, when the track problems weren’t as serious, our gymnast João Moreno won the Absolute National Champion title;

In 2014, our gymnast Mariana Silva won national runner-up in the beginner echelon (12 years), and other top ratings on the national scene;

In the last two years, we managed to qualify for the final of the Portugal Cup, proof queen of the national sport;

In February 2015, our athlete Carolina Val (regional runner-up in 2015), qualified for the Nacional Championship in a qualifying race, where she achieved the best result of the established athletes. On 11 April, in Santo Tirso, she won the National Champion title in the beginner echelon. She is now in trials for the World Cup by Age Groups.

What wouldn’t we achieve with a full operational track?!

The tumbling track is composed by a set of multiple plates and two rolls of carpets approved by the International Gymnastics Federation. The damage could be repaired on the plates, but the rolls have lost the proper consistency, so they have to be replaced too.

We appeal to all who are interested in sports to collaborate in this noble challenge. It would be an irreparable loss to all this great technical merit of work if it was interrupted. To secure a job with higher quality, satisfaction, professionalism and rigor, we need to achieve the goal we set ourselves with this project.

With a new track with all the perfect conditions, we will continue to form champions!

Help us make the leap!

About the author

The Cultural and Recreation Club of Alto do Moinho (CCRAM) is a popular community (a non-profit institution with the status of Public Utility since November 1983) founded on 29 April 1975.

Since 2006, CCRAM has been growing up in a systematic and consolidated way. It is, since 2007, the biggest popular community in the region of Seixal.

It has more than 1600 associates and 1300 practitioners in the sport and cultural areas, most of them children and young people. All the governance structure is guaranteed exclusively by tens of volunteers.
 

Pista Tumbling

In many of its activities, CCRAM plays an important social role of integration of children and young people from marginalized sections of the society: although the majority of practitioners pay a monthly fee, no one stops to engage in sport or cultural activities in our community for lack of resources.

In addition to the federated sports, in CCRAM are practiced many other modalities with playful character that aim to provide the population conditions for an active lifestyle and to promote physical and mental well-being for all.

A theater group, a music school, a school of traditional music, four musical groups and a class of painting and embroidery, exert their activity in CCRAM too (in a total of about 300 practitioners).

In addition to the regular activities, we manage several annual events. In 2014 we held about 110 specific initiatives one of which is the Intercultural Meeting of Knowledge and Flavors that counted with the participation of embassies, immigrant associations, regional associations coming from the five continents, etc. We also participated in 600 events all over the country in 2014.

We are a community that shows a strong public image of dynamism, competence and professionalism. We provide a service to the population that is unparalleled in our region: we play a public service that strives for excellence. Every day we receive testimonies of it from people and institutions with whom we interact.

Budget and due dates

The overall cost of the project is 9,000 euros. The main objective of the project is to raise 6,000 euros. We appeal to all of you for the minimum target is exceeded to get closer to all of the necessary funds .
