Defense challenges can be accessed in Fortunato's Classroom (2nd floor of school, 1st door on the left). I'm not sure when these are first available. I completed them during episode 6, but it may be available earlier.
Once you complete each difficulty with at least A-rank (could be lower, but it won't matter with this method), the next difficulty will become available (easy, medium, hard). Complete all 3 with S-rank to earn the achievement (and get equipment items necessary for a full completion).
To complete the Defense challenges easily, go to Options > Accessibility Settings > Difficulty Settings and set damage taken to 0%. During the defense challenge each hit will now only take 1 health. To achieve S-rank you need to survive for 1 minute. Using this method on the hard difficulty I was down about 50 health at the 1-minute mark and it took a full 2 minutes to get through my 244 health. No catching is required with this method.

You don't actually need to reduce the difficulty in accessibility settings, you can also use the near sighted glasses equip to make this a doddle. At 100% damage every ball takes 10% health but every ball you catch heals you 10% health as you're stuck in the middle of the court. I got 1:14 first try with this method on hard mode

The defense challenge will unlock as part of the story on Day 6. This will entail surviving as long as possible while immobile, only able to block incoming balls with 
. With the Accessibility options on and damage taken at 0% this will be impossible to fail since it only ends when you get hurt. Wait 90 seconds similar to the dodging challenge, then turn your damage taken up so you can end the challenge, netting you easy S-ranks on all three levels.
