There are a number of ways to accomplish a redirect like this.

In

location.href= 'http://www.sitename.com/Ministries/FamilyLifeCenter/Sports/UpwardSoccer/tabid/220/Default.aspx';

In VB.Net:

Response.Redirect("http://www.sitename.com/Ministries/FamilyLifeCenter/Sports/UpwardSoccer/tabid/220/Default.aspx")

If the soccer subdirectory is a DNN site, you could add this to the SiteUrls.config file:

<RewriterRule>
    <LookFor>.*www.sitename.com/soccer/.*</LookFor>
    <SendTo>http://www.sitename.com/Ministries/FamilyLifeCenter/Sports/UpwardSoccer/tabid/220/Default.aspx</SendTo>
</RewriterRule>

You could also add a redirection as a virtual directory (or folder) in IIS.  It has a setting to permanently redirect to another URL.  Additionally, you *could* add that as a site alias to your portal but make sure it isn't the primary alias so what would happen is you hit that, that url is actually mapped (through IIS) to your DNN instance, and because it wasn't the base alias it would change to the base alias.  I have it set up the second way on one of my brother's sites and use the first method for some other things.

**EDIT** I take back the second part... looks like you are wanting to redirect to a specific page.  The first method still holds true.
