THE CANADIAN PRIVATE PILOT (PLT) & HIS CANADIAN INSTRUCTOR (CFI) WERE ON A TRAINING FLT, PRACTICING A SOFT FIELD, TOUCH-AND-GO LANDING. (THE PLT WAS IN TRAINING FOR A COMMERCIAL CERTIFICATE.) WHILE LANDING IN A X-WIND, THE PLT ALLOWEDTHE ACFT TO CONTACT THE RWY 3 TIMES, WITH THE LAST TOUCHDOWN BEING HARDER THAN INTENDED. THE PLT SAW TREES AT THE END OF THE RWY & ELECTED TO ABORT THE TAKEOFF PORTION OF THE TOUCH-AND-GO. HE APPLIED BRAKES, AND WHEN THE CFI REALIZED THE SITUATION, THERE WAS INSUFFICIENT RWY REMAINING TO TAKEOFF OR TO STOP WITHOUT OVERRUNNING. THE ACFT CONTINUED OFF THE RWY & HIT A DITCH.
