How can i help her at home to improve her defending skills and when and how to open up get infront of someone to catch the ball

talk to the coach. you could try and coach her, but you could be teaching her something totally opposite what her coach says and thus making it worse. talk to the coach and see what she can do as home work. she might not be quite ready for the A team. nothing wrong with the B team if that is where her current ability is. She sounds like a rising star.
