The Journey
From Idea to World Stage
The Beginning
The Idea That Started It All
Every great invention starts with a spark. Darryl took his first concept and did what most entrepreneurs only dream of — he committed fully, documented the process, and prepared to introduce it to the world. He has since written three easy-read guides teaching others how to protect and launch their own ideas into the industry.
INPEX 2006
🥈 Silver Medal — SofTToss Golf
Darryl's first invention, SofTToss Golf, earned the Silver Medal for Best Toy & Game at INPEX 2006 — one of the world's largest invention conventions. A massive validation that his ideas belonged on the global stage.
INPEX 2017
🥇 Gold Medal — TeeterToss
Eleven years later, Darryl struck gold. TeeterToss & RingSwing won the Gold Medal for Best Sport at INPEX 2017 — proving that his commitment to innovation, fitness, and fun was more relevant than ever. A product built for every age, ability, and arena.
2020 & Beyond
Gopher Sports Partnership
Gopher Sports — the trusted name in PE equipment across North America — officially partnered with Dream Kit System to bring Darryl's products to schools, gyms, YMCAs, Boys & Girls Clubs, and communities nationwide. A partnership built on shared values: fitness, fun, and accessibility for all.
Days Solo in China — Turning Vision into Reality
Before manufacturing partnerships were a Google search away, Darryl traveled to China alone for 30 days to tool up his first invention. No shortcuts. No hand-holding. Just a relentless drive to bring his idea to life — and a story that inspires every entrepreneur he mentors today.
Mission & Vision
Fitness. Family. Fun for Everyone.
"No more pushing or pulling to work out. I want to introduce the world to my inventions, brands & products — because when movement feels like play, everybody wins."— Darryl Minchenko, Founder · Dream Kit System

Darryl has authored three practical guides walking inventors and entrepreneurs through the process of protecting their intellectual property and confidently launching into their target market. Real steps. Real results.
Compete & Win
TeeterToss & RingSwing Tournaments and Halftime Challenges are designed to travel state by state — creating healthy competition, community pride, and brand exposure at schools, YMCAs, Boys & Girls Clubs, family events, and major sporting halftimes.
Build Your Network
Darryl has pitched to ESPN, NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, NASCAR, Nickelodeon, Disney, and McDonald's. He openly shares his connections and welcomes collaborators, sponsors, and community partners to join the movement.
A Platform Built for Non-Athletic Kids
As of 2017, an estimated 75–80% of children in America have no regular physical activity — largely replaced by screens. TeeterToss & RingSwing was specifically designed to be inclusive, easy to learn, and immediately fun — giving every child a reason to get up and move, regardless of athletic ability.
