Narrative:
Right after touchdown we applied power and then the airplane started to veer to the right and we pulled the power and applied left rudder and aileron but to no avail. We then went to the grass on the right side of the runway we then evacuated on the grass area. We then noticed the gear was completely gone. No one was injured and no airport damage. Before hand we were doing touch and goes; no hard landings; all soft landings; good weather.
