A message to our MFC Families:

On November 16th, 2022, the Madison Futbol Club lost a friend, mentor, stand-in mom, cheerleader, 
and coach in Marla Hudgens. 

Marla joined our club as a volunteer with our rec division in 2014, before she even had children of her 
own, and has been donating her time and energy ever since. With her personal skill level and ability to 
translate those skills into coaching, Marla could have easily found a paid position within a larger club, but 
chose to remain with our smaller, volunteer based one. Marla quickly found her call to action in the 
disparity between the number of girls club teams as compared to boys and went to work. She 
transitioned to coaching club teams and ultimately joined our board as the Director of Girls Coaching, by 
then having 3 little ones at home, and a time-consuming career she was equally as passionate about. 

With her commitment to the whole child, Marla taught her players to realize their potential outside of 
their soccer lives. This has led them to collegiate athletic endeavors, and a drive to meet their personal 
goals. When meeting with the players she coached it is clear her tenacity on the field, and in life has 
been shared. From the Lady Cheetahs, to Marla’s Minions, and the Littles - Marla always showed up. 

As the club continues to grieve an amazing human, we will be working with her family to ensure we are 
respecting their wishes as we honor Coach Marla’s life and commitment to others. 

Respectfully, 
Shawn Grunewald 
MFC President
