Human Factors
I was in the process of landing at ZZZ and upon landing lost directional control after over rotating and striking the tail tie down and rudder; causing the aircraft to roll 30 yards off the right side off the runway after skidding about 500 feet on the main gear and tail on the runway without striking anything else and proceeded back on the runway and taxied to ramp.
A Light Sport aircraft pilot reported losing control of the aircraft while landing resulting in a tail and rudder ground strike while skidding off the runway. The pilot was able to taxi the aircraft back onto the runway and park.
