After performing slow flight and stall maneuvers, the flight instructor and the private pilot continued to the airport to practice takeoffs and landings. The accident occurred while attempting a soft-field takeoff. The private pilot applied full power, pulled the nose of the airplane up "really high", and the tail of the airplane struck the ground. The airplane drifted to the right side of the runway. The instructor took the flight controls and attempted to recover it. He tried to abort, and reduced the power, but the airplane continued to the left, struck a berm, nosed over, and came to rest inverted.
Probable Cause: The private pilot's excessive rotation and the flight instructor's delayed remedial action.
