Action theory. The trial involves two major activities: (a1) education/training of non-professional football coaches recruited from local sports clubs delivering the intervention and (a2) education of clinical hospital staff (primarily nurses) with the authority to refer prostate cancer patients to supportive care interventions. These two major activities are expected to produce: (b1) delivery of community-based football training adapted to men with prostate cancer and (b2) continuous referral of men with prostate cancer to the trial. As still more men with prostate cancer are expected to be referred from the clinic, the assumption is that the number of men with prostate cancer participating in community-based football will increase (b2 → b1). The expectation is that these men will share what they think of the intervention with the medical team/staff and as such contribute to the further education of the clinical staff (b1 → a1)
