THE ACFT WAS FLARED FOR LANDING ABOUT 1/2 WAY DOWN THE RWY AT EXCESSIVE AIRSPEED. THE PLT STATED THAT AS THE ACFT TOUCHED DOWN, IT BOUNCED INTO THE AIR AND IMPACTED TREES AT 10-15 FT AGL. THE SPOILERS WERE FOUND IN A RETRACTED POSITION AFTER THE ACCIDENT. THIS WAS A SUPERVISED SOLO TRAINING FLT. THE STUDENT PLT HAD LOGGED LESS THAN AN HOUR OF PIC FLT TIME. THE PLT LATER WROTE A REPORT IN WHICH HE STATED THAT 'I HAD REVERSED THE SPOILER CONTROLS IN MY MIND. WHENI THOUGHT I HAD THEN FULL OPEN, THEY WERE ACTUALLY CLOSED.'
