The student pilot was practicing touch-and-go landings. During the takeoff, he pitched forward to obtain ground effect and the aircraft veered off to the left side of the runway and touched down in the grassy area between the parallel runways. The aircraft continued forward for about 200 yards. The pilot reported that he steered the airplane back to the runway, took off, completed a traffic pattern circuit and landed.

The pilot stated that there were no mechanical malfunctions with the aircraft prior to the accident.
