Human Factors
While practicing landings I had an event. It happened on my second landing right after touchdown. The aircraft veered to the right leaving the runway; traveling through the grass and coming to a stop on the taxiway. I was told by the tower to taxi to a nearby tie down area. After parking the aircraft I got out and inspected the aircraft for damage; found that the left main wheel pant; and right main wheel pant fairing were damaged.I was the only person onboard and was not injured. I contacted the flying club after securing the aircraft in the hangar. Tagged the aircraft grounded until the club's maintenance personnel inspected and returned it to service.
C172 pilot reported losing directional control after landing resulting in a runway excursion that did minor damage to the aircraft.
