Narrative:

While practicing a landing on runway 30, I lined up on the centerline using left correction on aileron and right rudder to compensate for the crosswind. Immediately after touchdown, the aircraft immediately veered off the right side of the runway, striking a taxi sign, and stopping in the grass to the right of the runway. Then I taxied to ramp via own power.
