The student pilot stated that he was performing a soft field takeoff and after rotation, the airplane drifted to the left. He attempted to continue to climb and leveled the wings, but when the airplane was about 60 feet above ground level, the airplane stalled and impacted the ground.
Probable Cause: The pilot-in command's failure to maintain adequate airspeed which resulted in an inadvertent stall. Contributing to the accident was the lack of total experience by the pilot-in-command.
